A Poem About the Night

The truly deep core of night
Free of lies, light and fright
Shadows cast by trees and
We stare at dark blue skies

Fragile minds, snuggled away
Safely in deceiving beds
Hiding from nightmares
That come by day into their heads

They can't deny
They live a lie
By connecting all evil
With this beauty of nightmares

Our refuge, our paradise
Where our dreams come alive
Their eyes shut, ours wide open
We watch the dust dance
Over silent streets

All panic and hysteria
That the dreadful day may cause
A fire of deep and burning passion
Always extinguished by sunlight

Spiteful words they carve in stone
To raise their children in fear
Never shall they become a part
And never shall they have a heart

That beats and survives
Surrounded by dark blue skies
Mistaken as black, as a lack of light
Never shall they see the truth
