Nature’s most beautiful creatures
Are never truly a threat to man
The danger is in the mortal beast
Who destroys whatever he can

Beware the sky, of sun’s last light
When the trolls come out to play
They vanish, into the ebony night
Tis then, you should stay away
Nighttime comes, and so they wake
There’s no chance to be turned to stone
You’ll feel them, as the ground does quake
Best to leave them, by themselves, alone
They’ll wander about the darkened land
You can bet they’re looking for trouble
For they seem to think they are so grand
Perhaps, I need to burst their bubble
Get them to think the day has passed
Lure them, into the bright of the sun
Stop them dead, their faces, aghast
I’ll do this each day, til there are none

I lurk in the shadows
That block out the sun
Long for the hours
When daylight is done
Dwell in the darkness
Tis where I’m content
Hidden, unnoticed
Is how my life’s spent
I am one with the creatures
Who stir in the night
Awaiting the sunset
To silence the light

She reads aloud without a care
Unafraid that I am there
I have to wonder what she sees
When at last she looks at me
Continuing on with her journey in mind
She speaks of a forest, so soft and so kind
Of places that sparkle in emerald green
Of creatures she’s never really seen
Of beauty concealed in faraway lands
All this from the book
That she holds with her hands
Still she sits here before me
Enrapt in the story
As she utters the words
I can’t help but adore thee
