The Night

The voice of the wind chimes startled her at the stormy night

The scary ghost stories of childhood multiplied her plight

The rational thoughts of intelligent mind seemed to vanish

Thunder and Lightning seemed like a garnish

Hiding under the blanket she was five again

The logical thoughts gone in vain

The fear of the haunted mind clouded her thoughts

The terrified mind tied her soul in knots

She waited for the storm to seize

And wished for the dawn to bring her peace

Tired eyes seemed to be drooping

As she drifted into sleep weeping
