Dark shadows cast by trees at night- as wind gives life to limbs that scare, so oft can stir such inner fright. Dark shadows cast by trees at night morph images- let thoughts incite unwanted feelings of despair; dark shadows cast by trees at night- as wind gives life to limbs that scare. The mind plays games and creates fear, as tree-limb shadows writhe around like eerie snakes, entwined, austere. The mind plays games and creates fear, while courage fades- truths disappear. As steady moonbeams sweep the ground, the mind plays games and creates fear- as tree-limb shadows writhe around.
