Home night (Photo credit: AMagill)
Peek-a-boo
Shadows lurking
Children play
In darkened rooms
Lullabies
Hide their terrors
In the world
The black rose blooms
Hush now child
No use crying
Shadow friends
Have come to play
All who live
Will soon by dying
Nothing more
For us to say

This for me is sad Helen. Like the passage of time, we all have to deal with, our journey from life to death.
Yes, it was meant to be kind of nursery rhyme-scary rather than sad, but I can see what you mean when I read it back to myself. 🙂 🙂
eww that was a tad creepy 🙂
It was meant to be!! 🙂 🙂
