Darkest night

I see deeper into this 
night sky than i ever 
could by day
Familiar surroundings
in long lingering silhouette

Silence broken by the hum
of life
Shadows fail on every side
of me as i blindly clamber 
through uneasy feelings of 
being watched by nocturnal 
nature having wandered from
what i know .                             

Clouds now shroud our moon 
standing here i am wishing it`s
reflected light would resume to 

Guide me from the thicket.

Brilliant poem

Before I comment, typo, 2nd line, capital I, and 2nd stanza so it flows, capital I again and, through an uneasy feeling, I think-an- lets it flow better, one more thing, my eyes swayed too much, bring your words over a little more. Now, I am impressed with this poem. It really is vivid, I can picture some one walking under a streetlamp at night and looking over their shoulder, little unnerving, lol, but in your eerie words, something nocturnal. ouch. No way would I walk through any thickets, bushes or such. I love scary but I wont be in the middle of it, those days are long gone. I really enjoyed reading this and it is marvelous. Your title is fine. Love lyz. XX

not sure how I missed this rather clever masterpiece. I love the imagery in this one and the being lost in the darkness can have several meanings...nice touch! Good piece my friend.
