A sweet, dewy scent swept under my nostrils,
As I pushed open the window.
I gazed into the stars,
Watched it twinkle.
While the icy hands of the winds,
Gently touched my skin.
The sound of crickets echoed.
I was one with nature.
A moment in peace, tranquil.
…………….
BANG! BANG!
Shots rang across the neighborhood,
Terrified, shocked…I stood.
Then turned and ran to take cover,
Underneath my blankets, I shivered.
With fright,
Until I was swallowed by night.
