Pink Pretense

Foreboding darkness looms

and wind howls like a

wild wolf on the prowl

miles of rough terrain

speak in surreal whispers in 

soft pink pretense of calm auras

    still eerie sounds are heard

and the sky grows darker than pitch

slivers of moonlight barely peek 

through trees as if ripped 

from a fairytale fantasy

earth and sky blend together

in a two- dimensional line..

then there was only

 the sound of silence fading 

like a distant echo

Into shadows of the night

What a wonderfully descriptive offering of an evening in the wilderness. I've spent a few nights camped out in those wild and inaccessible areas. I always worry about bears the most and the occasional bobcat or cougar. I woke one morning and went down to a stream to see a black bear run down one bank of the river and up the other side. His stride wasn't even slowed by the steep incline. I thought, well, if that animal wanted to catch you, you'd just be caught. I enjoyed the read.

Very vivid images describing a haunted night with eerie sounds and a sliver of a moon, and then the silence.. perfectly set scene.
Best,
