Woodland Creature

 Dark trees surround me

In an open field
As I sit all alone
In the darkness

I look up at the moon and stars
Wishing
Hoping
Something would come save me
Nothing ever comes

The cold wind blows
As I sit with my wrapped
Around my legs
Holding tight with my face buried

Tear drops begin to fall
Landing on the cold ground
I hear each tear as it lands
The sadness of my heart
Can be heard

With silent tears
Something in the distant hears
A woodland creature
Walks out slow

With a buried head
I do not see
I just feel the nose
Trying to nudge me

The creature wants me to look up
See what he is
All i know is the fur is soft
And i just latch on
Hugging so tight

The creature leans in
Nose nuzzled close
Loving me
Caring for me
Kissing my tears away

Maybe I will be able to
Look up and see
Just who this creature is
That only comes to the night
