Why Be Afraid Of The Dark
7 July, 2002
Author: Airtime 13
Dark fingers of the night
reaching out to touch.
Formless shade, yet forms
it forms. Misty figures that
most often are only in the
mind.
Most prefer the light to
dark.
Visions easily seen, more than
the shadows.
My fears run in currents
much deeper, than any light
could dispel.
Night holds no fears for me.

| Pamela (199.216.176.5) -- Tuesday, July 9 2002, 06:02 pm I loved your use of imagery in this poem, dark vs. light etc... and I think the line "dark fingers...reaching out to touch" really captures the sneaky nature of night, and the threatening sense of danger when something unfamiliar comes too near us. Awesome, just awesome. |
