Through the darkness - Part One

*Im not a particular fan of poems in more than one part, but this one I think needs it - sorry*

Swirling in the darkness
Cloak held tight by a clasp
Fingers grip gingerly
The wind howls
As it travels across the path

Each step breaks a rhythm
Each breath takes its toll
Dead leaves crushed as it continues
The endless night seeps the soul

His curled up scarf
And twinkling harsh eyes
Proceed down the track
Where no one knows, lies

Sudden sharp screams
Break the doomed land
A sorrowful sigh is uttered
As he travels on
Into the forbidden

Caught by a soft breeze
The clouds show a dazzlingly moon
Dappled light revels a scene
Only in nightmares can
This evil be entombed

Stopped by the light
And awakened by the silence
He turns and mutters
Strange words never heard
Shimmering patterns
Appear on the path before him
Forming a picture
Of the never known land

Turning quickly
His cloak swirls around
And onwards he quests
Without another sound
