The Wonder Within the Monster

Unknown

A monster, enveloping the world
           Causing
                      Insecurity
                      Confusion
                      Fear
           A sense of bewilderment
           A sense ofisolation
A dark blanket of nothingness
           So black
           Soinvulnerable

A wonder, spreading through the world
           Causing
                      Serenity
                      Warmth
                      Peace
           A sense of calmness
           A sense ofrelief
A simple beacon of rest
           So quiet
           So tranquil

It is butthe NIGHT
