"AM I alone?"
when nothing is
around but many
bags 'o' bones.

Shadows cast
their unearthly glare,
trees whisper,
"Are you there?"

The wolves howl,
the owls hoot,
the moon rises,
dark as soot.

I lay to rest,
alone and alive,
my arms crossed,
just above my thighs.

I sleep now,
for ever and ever,
until the end.

The dead will rise,
I will awake,
happy and seeing
my friends before my eyes.

-the dark one

Tear my heart out,
leave me alone.
Thy body shall rot,
but the spirit shall grow.
