Evil Abound

Evil abound in the dark night air, The watcher is waiting, As you feel it’s blood thirsty stare. Sweat starts to form On your brow and your cheek As fear grabs your voice So you can not even speak. Icy fingers of terror Run down your neck to your back, As you nervously anticipate The demons vicious attack Palm to your chest You feel your heart race As the blood starts to slowly Drain from your face, White as if paper Ashen colored with fright As you imagine the unbearably Painful first bite Fear in your heart And tears in your eyes As you try to be brave And await its surprise It steps from the shadows And into full view The hideous evil That was waiting for you With the light you now see A form and its shape, Wondering what’s in store And wanting death over rape But to your relief Through tear filled eyes you now see, It’s not evil or hateful As you believed it to be It stands in the light Unthreatening and at ease, Not wanting to harm But only to please. The wings on its back Are now spread wide and of white, That shine with a pleasing Soft gleaming light Its features so beautiful And wondrous to see, Your fear and the terror Are suddenly set free For this is not a creature Of death, evil or hate, But a loving blessed angel From heavens front gate In that moment it was clear All your life you did waste For fearing the unknown And judging in haste
