Night

The hidden monster lurking among the bushes

is only a lost rabbit finding its way back home.

The looming shadows writhing almost out of eyesight

are only trees swaying in the crisp wind.

The unknown sounds emitting from the trees

are only birds settling down for a resfreshing rest.

Look beyond the daunting illusions of night

to notice the alluring atmosphere it brings.

 

Stars painted all across the endless sky.

Crickets serenating those willing to listen

with their sweet lullabies.

The smell of dew coating the grass.

The glistening moon shining as bright as a diamond

being held in a ray of sunlight.

The gentle breeze is comforting

like a mother cradling her child.

 

It is the perfect time to relax

as all the worries melt away.

Breathe in the sweet, fresh air

while drifting off in thought.

Let go of the emotional weight that resembles

dragging an anvil every place visited.

Do not let the fear night brings be consuming.

Instead, take a look at the beauty it brings.
