Imagination, or is It?

Moonless night
Stars hidden
Shadows nonexistent  
Darkness engulfs
 
Majestic in form
Trees gently whisper 
Swaying in unison 
Steadfast with strength 
 
Familiar sounds quietly murmur
The near-silence, deafening
Small creatures quickly scurry 
Lone footsteps patter slowly
 
Overzealous imagination creates sinister figures
Eyes darting left then right
Ears pricked, listening, on sharp alert
Heartbeats harder, faster, stronger 
 
Mind clouding over gripped with fear
Confusion reigns, familiar streets now unknown
Footsteps quicken, jog, run than a sprint
Homeward bound, door slams. Moonless night...
