Headed sure, I was, Your way one day, Then sun went down The cold wind, trees swayed. I hurried by an empty lot Familiar in the day's heat. Yet this night in deep they held Such evil I could not repeat. The darkness there Loomed secrets of fright - I felt I'd come Between enemies in fight.
Hoping to go unnoticed
I stepped quietly by there,
Then suddenly I heard a noise...
Of me they were now aware.
Instead of letting me pass,
Evil & Evil joined together
To aim their bitter hatred at me,
Though I was not the offender.
Turned quickly then
When I could take no more
And soon lost my way,
No longer headed to your door.
Chasing me deep into the wood,
I ran, not even dressed for going out.
I fell through an icy creek
And had no strength to shout.
The two of evil laughed together
Spewing clouds of sulfer, they did.
Patched up their wicked fight;
Then they went off as friends.
Looking up from your book
You peered into the night,
Thought of me then forgot again,
Sat and continued to read by firelight.
