[bodytext] => As darkness falls over the valley at night The streetlights come on to preserve the gay light Children rush home to sleep in their beds Lie down upon them, lay down their sweet heads The moon rises up, shines its flowering glow Lets its light cover all in the village below The stars twinkling brightly, be speckle the sky Giving off wishes as in the old lullabies Adults lock up their doors, they seal up their keep They settle down for their long night of sleep Quiet and peaceful as the police set down their guns The town is as safe as the convents of nuns Yet through the shadows of each dark alleyway Creeps a stranger in black, a drifter they say He prowls the streets, in his arduous search Peers in the windows for something of worth He passes the sleeping guards, propped up by a wall Knowing that any where no one will call He fumbles with keys, his lock pick wont work For this one door he’s opening is as shady as murk He opens the door and is blinded by light The whiteness surrounds him and takes his whole life His clothes left in a pile, one guard shuts the door Sweeps up the rubbish, puts it in a pale on the floor Another one lost, in the secrets of the room For all those who enter are most certainly doomed He guard smiles a little and whistles a lot They never will reach this thing that they sought No one can take if they’ve evilness planned Against this towns people, against this towns land The shield of this town that covers above Is a protection we all have, the protection of love.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
