In the Wood

I am the night and the moon

The darkness in your throat

The wind in your shirt

The bugs biting your arms

The light of your lantern

I am the evils lurking

In the trees

In the lakes and pools and streams

An amber and umber sunset

I am the lightning, the thunder

I am your fear, your rage, your joy

Everything you adore

And abhore

I am
