Sky of Night
The moon burns so bright
I can see the clouds.
The winter bitten tree's
Naked branches stretch up
Towards the sky
Like dead hands
Reaching up to the land of the living.
As I look,
It seems like something from a story book,
Or plucked from a Scooby-Doo episode.
The stars hide behind the dark clouds
Revealing bits of sky in between.
Creepy but beautiful.
