The Night

        Black, Frightening, and cold.

 It creeps slowly. 


        Suddenly as if someone flipped off the lights,

 you are plunged into nothingness.


                       Fear starts to set in, slowly turning your heart to ice.

Every little creek sets you on edge.

         Just as you are about to give in to the icey hopelessness,

                          light appears
just in time to guide you out and give you hope. Hope to escape the despair of the night.
