The leaves are changing , the days are getting shorter.
The night brings a chill, and with it the fear returns.
There was a time when the night was a favourite.
The peace and stillness signalled a day well spent.
Now the night holds terror, it surrounds with fear.
You can't see what's coming, never know what's around the corner.
Screams go unnoticed as everyone else is at peace.
The only comfort comes when the sun starts to rise, it's beauty touches the earth.
The earth becomes whole, and the light protects.
Or so it's thought, however step in the wrong place at the wrong time.
You can still loose the fight, the screams remain unanswered.
A violent end to something so treasured, ripped from your control.
It's least expected, now when is there safety.
It will forever be sought, struggling to find peace.
Comfort in the smallest words, the kindest hands.
Smiles from a stranger, hugs from an old friend.
Secrets to forever be kept, as to why the dark brings such a fright.
Why the safety in the light has been ripped away.
That leaves loneliness, there's safety in that.
If you are around no one then you can't get hurt.
However the problem is it's lonely, have to learn to trust.
It's ok to let people in, guarded and slowly.
You will find faith in humanity, or they will disappoint.
However the only way to know is to give it a try.
Just hope for the night when you close your eyes and it brings peace.
That you won't wake searching for a comfort that is never there.
