The hollow woods
Darkened the night
Along the shadowy path
That led to the cave’s mouth

The frigid cold
Breathed its frozen breath
Within the cave’s entrance
Creating a frosty smile

The darkness of the dwelling
Dampened the silent footsteps
Creating liquid imprints
That followed the ghostly trail

The darkness’s grip
Echoed the cave’s laughter
Eerie silence
With watchful eyes
