the darkness filled the room,
quiet is the night,
i am so afraid to turn on the light,

shadows formed, fire glowed,
its as if the shadow knowed,
there is some one there but where,

liting a candle by my side,
the shadow moved, but no reply,
behind the chair and up the wall,
the shadow was so very tall,

darkness i did succumb,
night time filled but no heavenly song,
the shadow looked around the room,
glancing to where i sat,
sitting beside me on the mat,

i held my breath and shook with fear,
it was alive and sitting here,
the shadow looked from left to right,
and then was gone into the night,
