Arafea's Poetry
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
As you try to sleep,
You see the shadows creep,
And you remember such terrifying rhymes.
But those stories of goblins and ghouls
Can only frighten the fools
Who allow themselves to be prey of the time
When the sun surrenders
To the force that renders
Us feeling humbled and blind.

Such tales of terror are spun
about the sky without the sun,
but those storytellers don't mention
the silver stars that gleam,
and the beautiful visions we dream.
But instead they divert your attention
to the darkness they dub 'unclean'
and to demons that remain unseen
to steal us away to some evil demention.

Reject those lies, and smile
as you sleep, dreaming all the while.
Don't let scary stories cloud your sight,
instead dance and dream under the starry sky,
release your soul and let it fly.
So hush, my small one, you needn't fear the night.
there's no need to hide,
for my love stands as a guide
to watch over you until first morning's light.

A Lullaby
