blackness, a shadow.
wings dark as night,
with a disposition to match
his fear of the light.
the shadow's face twists,
as midnight comes to pass
his followers lay in wait, searching
for bringers of light to harass
the night echoes on,
moon coating in shadow
mirroring the wraith's heart,
and his own urge to go.
go where? they all ask,
as their confusion arises
but perhaps even he, the usher of doom
has no plans when left to his own vices
