Night

Silence.

The stillness slowly closing in on you

Pushing down making it harder to breath

Smouldering you in its heaviness crushing you

Darkness.

Darkness closes in beckoning for company soon

Lay upon soft grass lightly baked earth

Look up open your eyes look up

Sky.

Silence accentuated by the constant pounding heart

Cold winds sweep sting burn and howl

Look up look up at endless sky
