Darkness* inhaled and *light Became night, it whispered Terrors upon the mind, Nightmares, Sight, Sound, Different upon theΒ black canvass The night silent, But Whispers of nothing Heard through senses, That fear the obscurity Of things not Known, Detected, Perceived, What happens When we ask is anything there And the darkness answers back, "We have always been here" The screams of insanity Heard, Breaking into the silence That darkness brings A phobia of the dark Or of what talked back, When next encircled By the veil of night. Are you brave enough to ask "Is there anybody there" Will you be a frenzied mess Or One that is rational and answered back..
