Soaring high above the ground
She sees the dark clouds forming
Far off in the distance
They are growing stronger
They are taking shape
To bring a devastating storm
She sees their tree
Hoping hes far enough away
She sees the creatures below
Moving about their days
Becoming complacent unaware
They sense no danger
Unaware of the chaos to come
The winds start to blow
Pushing her away
The storm rolling in
Darkening the day
She fights to warn them
The stoms winds to strong up here
She lands next to the tree
Sees the mark she left for him
Hoping he remembers who he was
She walks to the creatures
Praying they will listen
They move about their routines
Never noticing the change
She causes no ripple
Makes no sounds
They have tuned her out
She returns to the tree defeated
The shadows loom
Drawing close
Leaning against the tree
She pulls in tight
Tucking her toes in
Shes seen this before
The shadow draws close
Calling her to it
Pulling her in
She climbs up the tree
Trying to distance herself
The shadow follows her
Creeping so slowly up
Sliding out to the branch
She sees the soft glow of the fire
She knows there is safety there
The creatures are there
They are blissfully unaware
The shadow pulls at her
She sees the safety in the dark
The shadow starts to pull her in
Wrapping itself around her
She hears the whispers it brings
Promising safety and trust
Warmth and comfort
The storm draws closer
Creeping in on the creatures
She let's the darkness take her
She finds calm in its embrace
Wrapping up tight she looks back
The storm swoops in
Causing panic in her happy place
The darkness holds her tight
Telling her no one will touch her
She closes her eyes
Letting it take her away
She drifts with pull
Let's it guide her
Not worring anymore
She surrenders to the shadow.
