Trembling on the edge of extinction,
The protection of the day's light silently ebbs,
Giving way to the night's inevitable darkness,
Covering the body in a blanket of shadows,
Plunging the mind into a pool of doubt.

The darkness forms a betraying alliance
With the fears of the irrational mind &
The fluttering of the fearful heart
As insecurity and irrationality
Become familiar companions
On the soft descent
Into madness.
