Midnight Forest

As the forest frogs croak and the foxes prowl.

All that can be heard is the call of an owl.

Although the rain will fall,

Everyone can hear their midnight call.

Over the forest away to the mountain.

The waterfalls have the grace of a fountain,

You climb over the boulders

The fresh wind on your shoulders.

The sky starts to thunder

As you run for cover,

You realize it’s not safe and you

Run away to the savannah.

You silently make your way through,

You wouldn't dare to wake the lion

Would you?

Your heart seems to stop as you hear the hyenas 

The silly part of you wants a pic,

Y’know for social media.

You dash back home back to your bed,

Safe and sound once again.
