A Flight in the Night

I gather the thin threads of moonlight,
In the deep dark forest of the night.
Caught by shadow monsters in mid-flight,
I cast a spell to dispel the fright.
Blue fungi shed a mystical light,
Increasing viciously in their height.
A giant ant emerged as a knight,
Making me sit on my bed upright.
