Into the Night

INTO THE NIGHT Go not into the night For the darkness is the ward Of hade’s most tempestuous soul Wander not into this godless realm Where angels fear to tread For the shadows are alive And foretell the advent of harm Enter not the place Where the demons are within and without And fantasy mirrors reality Obscuring judgement The cold envelope of doom Will rattle all And chill the fearless Right to the bone The mist of doom Torments all feeble psyches That dares to traverse the twilight zone Tripping the unwary Trapping all in deepest despair Do not enter the night For it is a time of misery And a place where nature Does not follow The rules of fair play
