My footsteps, impressions, a story in rhyme
Water below me, frozen in time
Mirrored reflections, covered in snow
Over the bridge, back home I shall go
Where winter has left its mark on my soul
Dusted, with memories, from my evening stroll

She hides in the shadows
Blending in with the night
A young maiden in waiting
For her evening delight
She plans for her feast
At the edge of the wood
This pretty little lady
Is surely up to no good
She appears to be human
A facade quite believing
One trick of her trade
And her looks are deceiving
She thirsts for the blood
Of any human form
Then, once she is sated
She disappears, in a storm
She’s kept her mates waiting
For their dinner, you see
Tis not one that she feasts for
More hunger, like she

Nighttime lets me flourish
I stand alone, under the moon
Looking up, in wonder
I know I’ll find them soon
Brilliant, in the blackened sky
Fainter, at crack of morn
Lights of a million fantasies
In the evening sky, are born
I am covered in constellations
Bathing, in shining stars
Watching, as they sparkle
Like the sun, on a reservoir
Lights aglow above me
Tis Heaven’s chandelier
These are the ones, I know, in my heart
Will always, chase away my drear

Night settles over, like a vaporous gloom
Envelopes my soul, in a darkening tomb
Looking ahead, I seek out the light
The only one promising, to bring me through night
Skies part the way, not a moment too soon
All at once I am swallowed, by a heavenly moon
As day comes to an end, and the sun bids adieu
The eventide wraps me, in its ebony hue

Evening, sunlight fades
Through stalks of gold, and we watch
Slowly growing old
