nightlight/searchlight... Nightlight/Searchlight

a weathered blanket of clouds smothers me and I feel pain
the full Moon acts as a searchlight constantly watching my every move
stars, the eyes of the watchers, seem distant, but are mere inches away
the wind blows cold and heavily on me tortuously
I feel threatened
I feel alone
I feel cold, unfulfilled
