A Riddle?

                   #381

             The Dark Night

I saw myself in Heaven

One dark and starry night;

No one else was there though,

Which gave me a ghastly fright.

"Where are all the people?"

I cried to the star-lit sky?

The answer came down quickly,

"Those who've learned to die

Frolic in the sun-lit meadows

With God's Angels from on High."

Sometimes I wonder...

                      What?

The amphibrach, a simple creature,

Makes himself known by a single feature:

He leaves no track,

He's short in front, short in back,

And very long in the middle.

His life, you might say, is a riddle.
