It Awakens
A summer day
the did shine
the sky was blue and fair
A picnic planned
a carriage rented
we moved along the trail
We tied up to
an ancient oak
deep within the woods
And opened up
a wicker basket
and there, ate of the food
But upon the end
of our feast
the sky it darkened black
And poured forth rain
that soaked our clothes
flash lightning, thunder crack
It spooked our horse
the carriage fled
leaving us deep in darkened woods
So we ran along
a muddy trail
and there a cottage stood
Its windows cracked
a thatched grass roof
its walls covered and worn
It seemed so dark
and empty
but it offered us shelter from the storm
Through the door
we crept and groped
and knelt within the dark
While the wind
raged outside
and whipped the trees about
But when lightning
struck just outside
the flash light shone on the wall
And revealed
a cursed verse
that did to dark things call
The letters then
carved deep in clay
dripped and began to glow
And a
rumble from well beneath our feet
did begin to grow
So with that
we took up our heels and ran
and fled to woods from the sound
And in the moonlight
turn and gasped
as horrid beast rose up from underground.
