Crisp and crackle went the sheets
As I hid my mind from the sounds outside
The wind did scream its terror
As I shivered to another ghost walking
Over my future

My nightmare had started its watery heat
And lay there I must to the paralytic state
Of night
The battering continued and my life became
Less

This nigh of nights felt different
Felt louder
Brighter
Darker
Scarier
Than many many moons of past
And full was that moon
Shining like the sun
Shimmering dances round my room
Yet my music did play another tune

Eerie thoughts consumed my mind
The grasp had rumbled  
I was done
Burnt to tinder  
Gusts of hunger began their feast
Wave after wave the winds
Surrounded me

Drowning in the chilling blasts
Of night
I bequeathed my love
My dream was nearly over
The silence of the wind held me tight
My voice silenced
The calm of dawn had arrived
