Fear of Unknown

The bird of the
light 
On its golden wings 
Takes you on a
flight 
To visit a place
where 
Reason works and
logic walks 

The wings are so
strong 
That they can make
you touch the sun 
Beat winds and claim
the sky 

By the power of its
flight  
You may win over
whatever 
Comes in your way 
Nothing to fear 
Light clears
everything. 

Out of the dark 
A picture is formed 
And then turns into
a monster 
His hands are bigger

Even in a closed
room 
He touches you 

Even in a lava
lighted room 
He breaks in 
Makes strange noises

Like that of horror
films

He follows you 
And you never know 
If he has a dagger
pointed at you 
A danger of the dark

Crawls in on your
skin 
That’s called the
fear of unknown .
