Darkness
by
Heather Nicole Luther
Darkness falls upon us
Like a stranger in the night.
It lingers around and watches us
While we’re in the midst of no light.
While in the dark
The creatures play.
They prance around mysteriously
And mimic the things we say.
While we sleep
The demons come out.
They leisure among us
Without making a scream or shout.
The evil beings speak to us
And jump inside our dreams.
They fill our heads with terrifying things
Like evil and eerie screams.
When the darkness is lifted and
The light from which we were deprived appears,
Everyone knows that the demons are gone
And all returns to laughter and cheer.
