All Alone...

Standing all alone under the shadow of a house

The quiet surroundings give me the chills,

Feeling lonely as I remember those days

And thankfully the time kills.

I let out a small screech

As an owl above me flies,

I try all ways to calm myself

And succeed only by telling lies.

The dog barks and runs with might

He leaves me alone to fight my fear,

I try to sing to myself

And in the darkness, my sound, again and again I hear.

Standing all alone under the shadow of a house

I feel the wind quietly blow,

It drives away my fear

And the time doesn't move as slow.
