Night Fright

Nighttime comes,
I pull the shades around me.
Darkness sings,
The music, it surrounds me.
The time draws near,
it’s closeness does astound me.
I fear the night,
and hope it hasn’t found me.

Darkness holds numerous pleasures
but
a mother scolds and takes away treasures
so
you should love and hold the night.
Keep it’s mysteries, feed your fright!

Watch it grow and totally encase you
in a silky thread that will someday erase you.
It will take you away,
take you from sight
if you don’t let go the fear of the night.
