A picture speaks a thousand words, equal to a poem

Does create a rather eerie background with the pitch black skies and the tree branches resembling tendrils. A touch of Halloween perhaps. The raven or was it a crow, in the photo, captured well. The moonlight provides a source of comfort, bathing/illuminating the dark skies.

Waves

Each decision we make in Life is as every wave on the ocean receding or splashing onto the shore. Decisions are made, the waves recede. Each decision has an indirect effect on our lives, like erosion on the landforms. Rocks can be weathered down, as can our resolve. We may make wrong decisions in our lives, wrong decisions that come back to haunt us. The sea organisms that are buoyed by the waves are like people around us. Buoyed or hit by the decisions we make. Splash, goes the waves as they wash upon the shore with brine.
