Nov 2013
for forty years
the story has been told
of the eerie lights
doing their nightly patrol
along the disused airstrip
at the property known as Montana

those who've witnessed them
are frightened
by their chilling appearance
are the lights
of spirits
wishing to be free
or are they all
something imaginary

Toby is a man
of honesty
and he's seen the lights
on several occasions
upon the airstrip
flickering
ever so
brightly and breezily
they are there
for only a short interlude
then they take their leave
he has said
the air at night
around this location
is so icy of feel
and that it made him
quickly
turn on his heels

sometimes these sorts
of occurrences
can't be fully explained
but the mystery of them
holds our fascination
the intrigue
of this story
shall ever remain
why do the lights
on the disused airstrip
so scarily entertain
