Author's Note: This poem means something totally un-related to The X-Files, but when I thought about it after I wrote it, I figured it would work great for X-Files because it kinda describes the children from Closure and Sein und Zeit. Well, either way, I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: Yeah, since I'm using it as X-Files here, I', gonna throw this in lol…..They aren't mine!

Midnight Melody

***

The darkness falls upon a wood,

Enchanted with the coming night.

And as the twilight slowly grows,

Appears a garden of unearthly light.

***

They climb from tombs of roses,

Buried deep beneath the frigid ground.

When the moonlight shines upon them,

The children sing and dance around.

***

Forgotten by the mortal world,

Remembered in the lonely stars,

Forbidden the sun's warm embrace,

Just souls left with unhealed scars.

***

An elegy drifts on the summer breeze,

Known as midnight's mournful melody.

Lives cut short long before their time,

Deaths surrounded in shadow and mystery.

***

They have come unto the starlight,

And, oh! how jubilant their play!

Dancing to the midnight melody,

Till they flee with the break of day.
