We are in the month that epitomises fantasy and imagination. I have never been one who is afraid of the dark, but I know some are, but I always felt that the dark was on my side.
Shadowland
It’s always there in plain sight,
but comes into its own when there is no light,
steps out from behind the bedroom door,
joins its friends on walls and floor.
No night light for me at book’s close,
duvet pulled up below my nose,
so I can see their silent approach,
as my personal space they encroach.
Their purpose to provide a comfort blanket,
making my bed the safest billet,
from all nature of foul fiend,
and rabid monster - efficiently cleaned.
