A child cries at night,
Beneath the moon so bright,
Crying for his mother to hold him tight.
During the long days to come,
Enter demons one child cannot shun,
For his nightmares keep him up till the light is bright,
Getting scared and feather light.
How can one child so small,
Ignore all?
Just like my friends and I
**** time and look for fireflies,
Let go of fears that lurk,
Make sure that they do not hurt.
Nate is his name,
Oh my child,
Proud but vain.
Question the rules,
Ready to solve the clues,
Strive to understand,
The source behind the dark lands.
Under the covers this night,
Vainly peeking at covers and shadow,
Walking deeper into subconscious,
X marks the spot,
Yesterday is gone from thought,
Zander rocks him to bed.
