the moons secret

Let me tell you a story
A clear night is where it starts
Twas without clouds yet the night was stormy
The eerie silence made for a fast beating heart

The shadow like trees to close for comfort
Their waving branches like beckoning hands
I shivered on the grass next to the fort
Transfixed by where the milky moonlight lands

The moonlight reached out to the trees
And the forest went up in whispers
I heard hundreds of terrified pleas
And the echoing sound of soldiers suffers

The story of a war that tore this fort to the ground
And left it's silent ruins on the ground

Then the moon told me the greatest secret of this war
But I can not share with you anymore

As always, could do with some work, but this theme for this peice of writing was 'if something could talk' And if you couldn't tell, I chose the moon.
