A forest plunged into darkness.

The glow of the moon radiating ghostly shadows amongst the overgrowth.

Leaves crunching underfoot startles a hunting badger aloof.

The daytime hissing of crickets now silenced.

As a chilling wind whips through the willows.

The sun breaks through the myriad of trees.

Casting a beam of light through its branches.

A flock of birds sit in its palms, ready to sing the dawn chorus.

Announcing the darkness is over.
