My black and gray
Keep me invisible in the night.
Two blue visions
Are all you can see
For they glare at you
Making you feel scared
Because who is that
Peering at you in the night?
I walk out of the warm
And into the piercing cold darkness,
Lost in thoughts,
Lost in the stars as they
Glisten and twinkle.
They wink at you
But I will not!
As you drive your car past me,
I glare at you through your
Tinted windows, challenging you
To brave the cold.
You are too stuck in your
Sappy modern ways.
Don't walk the trails
With me in a black/blue night.
Leave me to my own devises,
Lost in a daze,
Confused at the civilized world
For abusing the sky.
The cold comforts me and
I am exhausted from
Wrangling in the soft moonlight.
I despise the owl
Who hoots a solemn warning;
More bad luck.
The frost has settled everywhere.
Slippery are the streets
Where water has set.
I hold on to nothing
As I calmly walk into nothing;
The dark forest nears me,
Cougar growling as I enter,
Telling me to leave.
Telling me to ponder the sky,
Stay off the trail.
I've entered this darkened mass.
Trees in all directions,
Swallowing my being,
Engulfing me.
Animals fretting, running about;
Cougar still yowling
Trying to discourage me.
But I am on the trail,
The pitch-black forest devouring me,
Cold settling in my bones.
Stars disappear, even the sky
Has vanished.
Streetlights are no longer visible.
I am no longer visible
For my black and gray
Has faded me
Into the rest of the shadows.
When I sleep on the trail,
The sun will rise and
Darkness will be gone,
And I will be gone with it.
My blue becoming
The sky above.
