Analysis of The midnight wind
Melodies sprinkle oft on twilight breezes
Dancing spirits somewhere among the dead
The dream catchers also waltz about
As the midnight wind sifts her secrets through the spider’s web
Gale rumors circulate circumstantial confusion
Across the valley’s greatest divide
Through the weeping willows
And the whisper of the lumbering pines
Nips upon the snowy tops
And down the mountain's side
Onto Grandma’s front porch cabin
Crashing consequences into windy chimes
Tinking out tall tales of lives in the hollow
Upon a marionette of battling pipes
And luring out the creatures songs
Carrying them off as it fades out into the wintery night
