Shielded From the Terror of the Night
SHIELDED FROM THE TERROR OF THE NIGHT
Prism at twilight
Multifaceted skyline
Blushing countenance
Lapis lazuli’s untoward release:
Slides of amber, magenta, crimson
Like a longsuffering firework fleece
Underneath the metallic sky
Forests darken and hide
Fortress doors locked tight
Shades shield us from the fierce unrest
From nightmare beasts and howling winds
Cradled baby eyes
Comforted with quilted care
Sleep rebukes child’s fear
Squeal of delight squelches the terror of the night
Flicker of sunlight peaks through satin sheets
