When I am old

April 5, 2021

When I am old,

I’ll fear the night,

when monsters rise

from under the bed,

and doubts appear

to haunt your sleep,

and no sun shines to guide you,

when fears come through

the fabric of dreams

appear more real

than what they are,

they whisper storms and tragedy

and darkness folds around you,

But morning comes and fears subside,

Sunrise reds will light the sky,

The owls retreat to parts unknown,

the birds in song remind you,

Another day has dawned.
