A plane of darkness looms over the land,
a deathly silence hangs like an icicle,
the air stands still,
if any words are spoken,
none are taken,
because they freeze,
and up above is an orb of silver,
and glitter spread out,
that silver light waxes before it wanes,
there’s more,
but nothing more to say.

&ldquo;I&#039;d rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I&#039;d rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way: The eye&#039;s a better pupil and more willing than the ear, fine counsel is confusing, but example&#039;s always clear.&rdquo; -Edgar Guest

This is very good, It paints a picture of a rather eriee, ghostly night. I can hear the spooky silence right now. Was dark and ghostly your intention?

 

Could you check out an article or two of mine? A Fool's Walk  and The Haunted Heart, maybe?

none are taken,
because they freeze"
