Darkness shrouds the vast sky

as the clouds huddle up,

Silence prevails as the wonderful night sets in.

A lone cricket buzzing,

Or the bullfrog croaking,

Through the eerie silence, sends shivers down the spine.

The lake… quiet, frozen

With an one off ripple,

Makes the night more scary and too mysterious.

The reflection of

the moon ushering calmness…

Aah .. the only solace, in this eerie setting.
