The song of darkness

As darkness devours
Over all human beings
And the moon begins rising
To the top of all roofs

I lay on my bed
And suddenly I hear
A song beginning to leak
From every crack and chink

The clocks start it all
Ticking away
Follows the snores
Of others immersed in their dreams

In join the crickets
Out on the lawn
Then howls the wolf
In response to his mate

The wind begins dancing
Swishing between
Ghosts are out roaming
Invisibly obscure

A glance from the corner
From something unknown
Is it a beast
Waiting till dawn?!?

I close my eyes tight
Shuddering fright
and wait till this song
Ends tonight

*I used to be afraid of the dark when I was a kid... I used to imagine stuff like my hanged clothes moving ( a monster) or red evil eyes in the light bulb... I'd be too afraid to get up.. so I used to close my eyes and hide under the blanket waiting for the night to end*
