The fires burn,

the stars

gaze on,

looking down

as one.


Do not look now,

things happen

in the night,

beneath the 

scarred moonlight.


Take my hand,

for a second,

the forest 

beckons,

its leaves welcome,

ready for our

dance.


Do not look back,

turn aside,

from what you

left behind,

do not cry,

weep not,

there is no loss.


We are not 

children

of the night,

rather,

those small creatures,

of the pale star light.
