Goblins, ghouls, and monsters,
are the ones who lurk
under our beds
in the dark.
We are reassured
with a motherly touch,
and a soothing voice,
quickly calmed,
fears gone.
But I know
in the day
Goblins, ghouls and monsters
are not gone.
They are simply biding their time
until dawn turns to dusk,
and dusk turns to dark.
They wait for the time when
we find ourselves
wishing for light the most.
