Quietus

Softly, distant thunder

Caused heavy eyes to close

As the shrouded moon rose

The storm approached

Peaceful sleep, elusive

Fear interrupted dreams

Rain soon saw empty streams

Overflowing

Poor shelter neath the trees

Cold, scared and all alone

Just barely skin and bones

The last breath drawn

Abra Cat Dabra

Their eyes fixed

Upon food dishes

As though the

Power of

Suggestion will work magic

Summon a human

Lone dried leaf in dirt

Short grass filled with brown sparrows

Late summer sun hides
