The Witching Hour

a bird chirps
as shadows leap
night is still
broken by a shrill

sky is dawning
moonlight is waning
wolves are howling
cold breeze is chilling

as sun ray is tearing
from the horizon appearing
a loud cry is heard
someone's missing from the herd

could it be that he was taken
by the moonlight's beautiful siren?
or to the cliff he had fallen
and died searching for his maiden?
