Creatures
In the shadow of the darkness
in the time we call the night
lurk the ghost and evil spirits
that cause us all to fright.
There are some who ride the wind
some may crawl upon the ground
there is no way to hide from them
for they are all around.
They come in through your windows
they slither on your floor
some can enter with the sounds
that come in through your door.
They are driven by a hunger
a frenzied need to drain
some of them may take your soul
while others seek your brain.
They have one thing in common
they know the smell of fear
but you can make them go away
if they get to near.
Tell them all to go away
for you are not afraid
they might come up to your door
but they will never stay.
To those of you who seek defence
from the creatures of the night
take a path you know is good
know that you are right.
Take the time to think it out
else your life be filled with doubt
and you may well fall victim
to those we speak about.
