The Dark

I feel quite trapped I must say

Just like a predator’s prey

 

Shivering and cowering in the night

I stay crouched on my toes ready for flight

 

The long grass that covers me 

Sways ever so slightly

 

It bends with the wind

As I try to stay completely stiff

 

I close my eyes, but just a little too late

And in my mind I see what I truly hate

 

I see the night ready to swallow me in its everlasting wake

Lost in the darkness I struggle to stay opaque

[Poet Sayings]

wow, the ending and depth to the meaning pulls the reader in and the
layout captivates, the meaning has the classical poetic sense of application,
a metaphor set to a natural inspiration, this is dark and stunning

[No Longer in use]

Sorrowful and haunting. I simply love the last two lines. Love it.
