Just a bit on the dark side, not my usual style
Crying Souls Lurking, lurking mist creeping around headstones Moistened soil covering decaying bones Lurking, lurking mist. Swirling, swirling through crevasses and crosses Zephyrs brush across thick green mosses Swirling, swirling zephyrs. Hanging, hanging moist vines drape from trees Rhythmic swaying with the breeze Hanging, hanging vines. Chiming, chiming town clock strikes midnight Eeriness overcomes this old graveyard site Chiming, chiming clock. Rising, rising souls begin their nightly journey Trapped within these boundaries for eternity Rising, rising souls. Floating, floating ghostly figures ‘n mournful cries Skeletal, decaying flesh, sunken eyes Floating, floating ghosts. Screaming, screaming voices reliving never-ending pain Blood upon blood washed away with rain Screaming, screaming voices. Glowing, glowing contorted bodies can be seen Silvery moonlight enhances the gothic scene Glowing, glowing bodies. Returning, returning slowly toward their eternal grave Forever to remain Satan’s slave Returning, returning to Satan. Approaching, approaching dawn brings forth new life Releasing serenity instead of ghoulish strife Approaching, approaching dawn. David J Delaney ©

You are a master of your craft, whichever genre you choose to write in it is written exceptionally well. I agree with Bonnie, great timing for such an eerie piece.
