The shadows of the night

The sky, a tattered cloudy blanket
gray-blue empty room
The ground, a dead leaves carpet 
gold and scarlet crispy tomb

The trees, howling dark creatures
Woody feet in the ground
Long knotty arms to the sky
 hopeless prayer to the setting sun

No appeal, no struggle, still
the shadows of the night swallow
the lonely autumnal forest
in a gigantic serpent bite. 

The cold darkness, triumphs
Once again on the sleepy woods
Illusionary victory, ancient chimera

Of the oldest men’s fear ...
