a tiny red ember in the darkness
brightens and then dims
a small cloud of smoke
rises into the sky
voices in the night
carry across the empty field
unknowingly being watched
by a stranger in the shadows
the clouds dissipate
and the moonlight reveals
its secrets of the dark
there is a scream
the sound of fast foot steps
minutes pass that feel like hours
finally it is all over
only silence is left
a small ember in the darkness
brightens and then erupts
a large cloud of smoke
rises into the sky
a stranger hides in the shadows
as the clouds once again
hide the secrets of the moonlight
