Under The Duvet

By Danielle Bowen

The shadows they lengthen as day draws to night,

The light cannot penetrate, try as it might.

Your eyes they deceive you as things are not there,

The monsters they taunt you to enter their lair.

The darkness descends and cloaks any small clue,

Silences sounds and doggedly taunts you.

Just as it seems that your torment won’t end,

Your rescuer meets you and things will now mend.

Light works magic, unveils and unmasks,

But war is not won as night weaves new tasks.

Ready for you at the end of the day,

It is only the morn that can take it away.
