Vicinity

The darkness comes creeping in

Not a single flicker of light

A silent wind and the rustling leaves

And the time to shine for the night

An eeriness flows in the air

Not a single life was seen

A bloody trail of a million lives

And the time to shine for the night

A vicious demon lurks in the open

Not a single grave was seen

A myriad of trials and nowhere to hide

And the time to shine for the night

Cursed were the times lest he dies

Just the last gasp was heard

An inhuman stench and desperate tears

Yet the time to shine for the night

P.S. I'm writing this in sickness about people sick in their health and head.
