As usual, I don't know where to put this - but somehow this poem made it into the Teen Literary Anthology being put together for my city. *shrugs*

Magnificence
Darkness settles in
Bringing me to life
My instincts, my dreams, my fears
All are brought out
Expressed freely
I walk through the night
Smiling at the power it holds
The clouds hover threateningly above me
The wind whispers at my neck
Sending chills down my spine
This is the time I love most
The thrill of danger
Lurking in the inky space before me
The trees whisper around me
Asking why such an intruder
Has entered their presence
Disrupting their sleep
I step through mixing shades of Light and Dark
As the moon dares to slip out of its grey blanket
The houses, the cars, the people –
Everything is silent and dead under its glaring beams
Erasing the proof of our modern days
In the night, my true senses come out
I thrive in the reality of it all
In the truth of the night, where I find myself
In endless adoration of everything around me
I realize that any attempts to create beauty
Fail completely when compared to
The simple magnificence of the night
