it was the perfect night
for the
corn maze terror
9 of us went in
3 of us made it
all the way through
hangnail moon
chilling wind
corn up to the sky
eerily waving us in
dark silo in the back
watching it all
and
scary things
so many terrifying things
all along the way
walking out of the corn
and
standing behind us
and
calling our names
and
chasing us
scary pic of me hiding in the corn
right at the beginning – excited and scared both
we ran
we startled
we got lost
we shrieked
we fell
we ran more
we tried to
clutch onto each other
sometimes to strangers
yelled our lungs out
and
somehow
made it to the end
a little bit braver
and
for at least one of us
a lot more scared
than when we went in.
a true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst,
than in the beginning of danger.
