the sun set earlier tonight and there is an unsettling chill in the air
hauntingly delicious, the trees are covered with colors of candied corn
a full moon hangs above a quiet city where most are asleep safe in their beds
while one sits and stares at a cold blank wall
their mind is flooded with a sadness that is unforgettable
their worrisome brow furrows within the night
and the deep exhalation of their sigh is the only audible sound
it echoes through the night like an eerie gust of wind
