Night Fall

As night falls you rise.

You dance across the moonlit field,

I watch as you lay down and look up at the stars.

I see the smile on face that says you are free.


As the sun rises you sit up and frown at the sun.

I watch as you run back across the field.

But instead of it being in happiness and freedom,

it was in fear and panic.


You sprint back to your house,

duck inside before the sun fully comes up.

All day I watch you look outside your window,

waiting to be free again.


As night falls you rise again.

You dance across the field,

and look up at the stars.


But as the sun rises you leave.
