Through the Dark

Into the night, they go to see what is to be, only to find what they thought to see,
became nothing they could conceive.
They wondered through the dark forest with overcast sky, searching for something
they hope to find, only disappointment to find nothing visualize.
After hours of searching they sat under an old oak tree with their backs against the trunk.
They felt the ground under them began to move.
No one could speak a word,
cause their hearts were filled with fear.
As the ground moved, there came a thud,
then another thud, another, and another, until the last thud.
The ground around the oak tree became calm as a lake without a breeze.
The silence was deafening to the forest,
for what had happened, was beyond nature's own beliefs.
