Writing Prompt

The night speaks first
in small sounds—
crickets stitching a thin, steady rhythm
through the grass
like hands mending a tear in the dark.

Wind follows,
pressing its cool breath through the trees,
leaves trembling as if receiving
a quiet confession.

A lone car hums across the distant road,
its rise and fade
a brief reminder
that some lives keep moving
while yours—just for this hour—
stands still.

People often think being in "the shadows" is a bad thing -

"she was in the shadows" doesn't have that ring.

But bats whole personality is to thrive in the dark,

Even though in the night, moonflowers have that spark.

You couldn't see how beautiful fireflies are in the light,

Or how stunning the moon is when the time is right.

But this isn't just about the things in view, -

it's about you, t...

The moonlight cast on the earth for as long as it sits above the horizon. Yet some days that doesn’t last for the length of darkness. You’ll catch yourself slightly more aware in the dark, you know? Your sight is hindered, nearly void. Therefore, you will rely on your ears. In doing so you notice every noise. The crunch of leaves, the snap of a branch, coyotes running wild, and every other sound ...

Do you know?

Angel face

I don’t mean to speak in riddles

I believe I have to

If you understand then you know

Last night

We were there

Am I the only one who…

Everything changed

Didn’t it?

Where did we go?

Can you help me?

Walk through this untraveled road

Please God send me a friend

Someone who knows

the Prime Directive…

I’m lost in this str...

Wiping the eyes hard enough summons the stars.

Eyelids close tightly in the dark of the night.

Afraid of what is hidden in the black voids.

Tucking the cover over a frightened head....

My eyes looked up

And instead of leaves,

I saw a thousand stars leaving,

Migrating to find better skies.

Branches holding out,

Edible stardust falling down:

I opened my mouth

And it was sweeter then apple pie.

The moon shined bright,

Illuminating the sky, The

Countless meteorites

Adorning the Heavens…

Of blue,pink and purples,

I could see it reflecting

On me and on this stardust tree

Ive been ...

Crawling along the floorboard

Moving with the rhythm

Of the shadows cast by the outside headlight

Stalking slowly and carefully

Something ahead

I’m only it’s vision

A dance done every night

With no winner or loser

A no contest contest

But life is a stake

Death moves swiftly

She moves her small frame gracefully

Placing each leg carefully in front of another

Until she attacks

And the dance i...

Most don’t see what I see

In the dark of night

They are all asleep

And miss what’s here in sight

The creatures all come out to play

Once the sun has set

But no one ever cares to see

What’s right behind their door

Creatures come and play with me

All in different shapes

Some are small and some are big

And some are just like me

We run and hide

And stay and seek

Until the night is gone

For then we...

My soul is a watch tower

waiting upon a lofty mountain

Closer to the stars than the green of a norwegian sky

I want to be radical

but a soul made of stone is only good if it has arrows and is not in favor of being kind

A fortified tower can stand to protect a few watchmen—

If they are not yearning

But who can tell them not to jump over the edge when it suits them best

It is their pursuit, thei...

I heard the sound echo

My heart pounded in my chest

My throat felt like it was closing

I knew this wasn’t a test

I suppressed all my emotion

I looked up so high

Until I found the moon looking down

But no shadows insight

I felt my lips quiver then turn to a frown

The town was so far away

When that twig snapped

I knew what would happen next

My minutes here were numbered

I didn’t feel perplex...
