It crept over the walls like a blur,
As black as white is a swan's fur.
It seemed to hover in the distance,
Upon the garden, along the fence.
It was like a nightmare alright,
But i was scared, stuck in fright.
I gathered my guts and ran,
with wind sweeping my face like a fan,
Only to realise it was a ghost,
The figure I feared the most.
Then I opened my eyes and gasped,
realising that the night wasn't as bad.
