What causes drama about dark
that sneaks right in, puts out the spark
of confidence- to then embark
the path of fear, alone and stark?
What light there is, the shadows bend-
morph into scenes we apprehend;
disguised, unknown as our eyes send
those stark outlines we can't defend.
Like silhouettes of tall, bent trees
which come alive with every breeze;
their swaying arms transmit unease-
as darkness helps them mock and tease.
The dark invites a dismal mood
when eyes present a vision skewed.
Tween mind and senses there's a feud-
of what is real and what is viewed.
