Fright Through the Night

Fright Through the Night The darkness floods me through and through, It takes the sky, washes away the blue, Leaving me, without a crew, The darkness floods me through and through. My mind try’s hard to ward off the fright, In the dark, where there’s no light, All I have to do is fight, My mind try’s hard to ward off the fright. I cannot see through the think black ink, Everything can be lost in a blink, I skate around the never ending rink, I cannot see through the thick black ink. Every time I fight my way up I fall, I fall, sliding past the flat surfaced wall, Nothing can help me, I have to crawl, Every time I fight my way up I fall. I feel like I have hit the hard end, Only to find another bend, To the night, my eyes I lend, I feel like I have the the hard end. Through the blackness I sail, All I can do is flail, Through the sleet, the snow, the hail, Through the blackness I sail to the day’s open arms. This poem is copyright © to Mike Davidson 1997
