Under a broken star line
Lies a child softly weeping
In a meadow devoid of life
Clutching a torn piece of cloth.

Sensing an easy meal
Demons and monsters loudly approach
From all corners they come
To enjoy the nights feast.

Pale moonlight shines down upon the ground
Basking the earth in its sickly silver glow
Highlighting the predatory eyes
Of the trap now closing in.

Yet nothing stirs the weeping child
As it clutches ever tighter
To the broken bonds
Now limp in its hands.

Clouds obscure the diseased moon
Allowing darkness to consume
All the terrible events
Which are about to occur.

Yet the child does not stir...
This can be taken at face value as a short story type poem. Or it can be looked into for the deeper meanings. Either way I hope it's to everyone's liking :)

i like this alot and i want to sink deeper into the surface so i may ask questions that annoy: why is the child alone, why is the child sad and why does he not sense the danger around him? could it be that child is in a "meadow, which is really a world he made up in his mind to help him deal with the shock and trauma he was thrown into and the torn cloth and broken line is the remains of what he knew when he was safe and happy and cared for?
