in a old little village,nightime had arrived
the candles have been put put
here come the bats that are despised
the creatures of the night follow suit
but then one strange voice was heard
distinct from the voice of these creatures
a voice that spoke in accents loud and clear
a voice that called out to those that were within
to embrace the darkness without..
all cuddled up in their beds, crippled with fear
no one cared leave their safe homes
all, save a little girl, parents she had none
she walked to the voice
in a bid to ask what it was
she said “hello sir, who are you”
“i am he who dwells in darkness” the voice replied
the little girl stared on with such great wonder
for what could be on yonder
“do you know my parents” she asked
“i do, follow me and I'll bring you to them”
the little girl glowed with joy
and with that she set into the darkness
never to be seen again
but the voice in the darkness
still comes to visit the village every night
calling for the villagers
will you answer the voice in the darkness?
the choice is up to you.
hello this is my first poem on this space...be sure to follow me for more...thank you all..
