It Is Dark Out

By: Brittany Dickens

Ms. Pitts/3rd period/Hon. English

It is dark out

The trees are sleeping

The streams sing lullabies

Mother nature rubs my head

It is dark out

All is still

The wind rocks the grass to sleep

I feel it’s touch on my feet

It is dark out

The owls watch me on the ground

The flowers are my blanket

The smooth river rock is my pillow

It is dark out

The day was long

Now the world sleeps

As my kinsmen sing this song.
