Nightmare

The poem describes a mysterious creature that hides in shadows and watches at night. She remembers past battles and searches at night for her son with a wilderness in her heart but fear in her soul.

Nightmare

She seeks the darkest shadows in which she disappears


she whimpers when the wind moans so you don't know she's
near.
You'll never know she's watching you and waiting for her call
she's listening far into the night -aware, tense, sensing all.

A sheen of oil like ebony skin slides over muscles taught


she throws her head up high and proud, remembering those
she fought.
Somewhere a distant murmur -she falters, waits, -it's gone
her eyes now dark and hungry are hurt, deep and alone.

She stands on the horizon, her hair thrown in the roar


of screaming winds & moonlit skies & severed souls of yore.
The wilderness is in her heart yet fear is in her soul
another night she looks for him, her life, her son, her foal.
