Silent Night
There are shadows in my forest
Dark and silent upon the ground
Yet filled with echoes
Shuddering cries
Like the wind restless in the leaves
There's a dark house in the center
My innermost place of fear
No moonlit sky
No sunlit rooms
Rain dripping from the eaves
My heart is like the forest
A wild and tangled growth
Full of life
Of love unheard
With shadows in its wake
Pinpoints of moonlight touch the ground
Each a wondrous memory
Islands of light
Crowded by shadows
As dark as the deepest lake
I am lost here in my forest
Searching for moonlit ground
Spread far apart
Within the dark
Clutching shadows in my hair
The dark is thick and slows my way
The light is elusive and thin
But I keep searching
My hands are reaching
Beneath my fearful stare
Come find me in my forest
Come put your hand in mine
Walk with me
I long to be free
Of the shadows pressing in
We'll find a way out together
Somewhere I'll find my trust
Rebuild the house
And open it's windows
'Til the moonlight touches my skin

I had just finished taking a teaser shot of the renovations Alurel is undergoing and had just finished editing that picture and posting it when I looked back in world and saw the moonlight hittng the rocks beside me. I couldn't resist taking another shot. Unedited this time :)
