The emerald sun sets beneath the fickle horizon

and my world is plunged into the exhilarating unknown of night

Unable to see the path that once shone so surely under my feet

I hastily stride forward, brushing against the eternal trees

whispering my name

 

The hypnotic moonlight urges me forward,

in blind faith I trust my treacherous instincts

My footsteps ring out in the empty abyss of darkness

a rapid melody for me alone

a desperate song of longing

 

Suddenly, a terrifying scream tears through the night

the primal, invigorating baying of wolves

Envious of such primeval audacity, my heart is gripped with pain

recollecting yet another ancient emotion

the very thing I must return to

 

At last, the path opens onto the well-known clearing

the stars spiraling helically downward, settling on your angelic presence

I fall into your comforting embrace,

entangled in your brilliance

I'm home

Jowwiee... :") i swear you made me cry :") I cannot tell you how much this poem ment to me and the word choice and fluency was just AMAZING:) You completely created the image you told me you were aiming for:) It shows that even when someones world feels dark and cold and confusing, you will ALWAYS have that safe harbor, always have the arms of someone you love to comfort and protect you from the horrors of the real world. Frightening to think about being alone in such a big world... but beautifully portrayed in your writing:") absolutely LOVE this one:") amazing job Jowwiee:)

This is a great story withing a poem. The night can be scary but it also has a mysterious invigorating feel to it as well. This is done well and I love the last stanza. How you sum up this piece.
