the forest night in Words that Rhyme

Let us walk the forest night
no shade from towering trees
feel the dark and all it’s might
a lonely place to be

stroll along the wooded ways
wonder what may be seen
creatures hiding from the days
eyes sharp, claws razor keen

minds play trick of what we see
and fears that lay ahead
imagination runs a wild
the dangers in your head

but yet we walk and search in kind
for what is never seen
a friend a love not in our mind
a soul on which to lean

those of us who seek the dark
have nothing left to fear
we seek each other to no avail
as no one wants us near
