In the shadows,
Something creeps,
Something mystic,
dark, and deep.

The flicker of my flashlight,
The shadows shrinking back.
A roving beam of light,
Revealing... "Wait? What's that?"

Hey there! I really, truly LOVE this. This has to be my favorite poem of yours. I love the title, picture, and concept. They all go so well together! This was just written so beautifully and the rhymes were right on, perfect. I could go on and on about this, but I won't because I can't put into words my love for this poem. THIS IS AMAZING.
