The monsters of the hidden mind
sequestered far for good of all
hold their counsel until the day
that life’s grace will be betrayed

before the time that darkness reigns
in the deepest of mind’s caves
far from the light of calm resolve
squirming worms disrupt the thoughts

holding masks to the world
evoking bliss while doom grows
waiting for the chance to strike
assume control beyond their might

beware the dusk before the night
when sanity has a last gasp
monsters stir from their respite
moving forward in twilight.
