Magic Of The Night

The chill of the fall surrounds you as you walk in the clear dank night.

There's an itching but your not quiet sure what it is.

The mist floating above the lake reminds you of a hot tub warmth rarely found this time of the year.

You hear a dog barking off in the distance and it sends a chill up your spine, because you know its not just any dog its a German Shepperd a trained attack dog. You put it to the back of your mind.

There is just something about the night that pulls at your heart. The memories that are slowly dissipating from your memory. They seem so far away, you try and recall if they really even happened or if they where just a dream made up by a restless teenager.

Running you feel safe, nothing is going to touch you. There are no people watching you as you run making you feel less superficial.

You see a guard walking the grounds it makes you nervous unsure of what he will think. Wondering if he will pull a gun or something on you. Doing another lap you cant see him making yourself more nervous. Putting him to the back of your mind you press forward keeping a constant speed but always watching for him.

The bars what better place then the bars. Slowly you pull yourself skyward.

Out of the corner of your eye you see a shooting star you drop to the ground to watch the Stars. "Some one once told me the kings of the past are up there watching over us" You wonder if someone is looking down on you. The stars more than words can ever say. They remind you again of times long past. Sleeping on a tramp as a child, staring at their vastness trying in vain to count them all. Laying on a tramp with your friends watching a meteor shower, with countless streaks fling across the starry sky.

The silence causes the world to almost stand still. There is no pollution being pumped into the air you can almost breath clearly.

You feel like you are the only one in the World, like the night was created just for you. Just so you could clearly think without any pressure from anyone else. For a moment all the world was right.
