A windswept night calls your name,
Dares you to play my midnight game.
So I offer you this one escape:
What danger will you find to make?

Freedom follows when you flee;
Will you come and follow me?
Shall you do it, or will you run?
Will you abandon all my fun?

Moonlight, starshine, wishes made,
Will you let your shadow fade?
Cross the distance, enter night,
Do you see the distant light?

Do you wander? Across the sky?
Away to where the stars can fly?
Do you like it? Do you know
How to light those stars aglow?

You can’t take His side and take me,
You won’t be able to cross the line.
What to choose: His side or ours?
Will you watch this clash of powers?

A windswept night calls your name,
Dares you to play my midnight game.
So I offer you this one escape:
What danger will you find to make?
I wrote this for a creative writing assignment, but I love it. It's inspired by William Blake's "The Tyger".
