On a dark night

There was a change approaching with darkness  
As dreary and silent as ever  
Creeping throughout with sordid starkness  
Savoring the times it made me shiver.  

Forced into an abyss of suspense,  
A swirl of thoughts invade my mind  
Entwined with a mirage of strange omens,  
Inescapable fear they cause when combined.

A quick movement startled me out of my gripping fear  
Inspiration struck me like a lightening bolt  
All the horrid thoughts seemed to simply disappear  
As I rushed homeward with a jolt.  

Is it fate, or is it in my head?  
This spike of excitement made me wonder  
The tunes of such whimsical dread  
For which our weak hearts give way to enormous plunder.
