Afraid Of The Dark

Rating: 3.5


Flicker little candle bright
Leadeth me to bed at night,
Protect me from that squeaky stair
And whatever lives in there.

As I make towards my bed
Keep me safe with brightness spread,
Now sit awhile here by my side
And dance your light on eyes so wide.

Flicker little candle bright
Keep me safe from what is night,
Wrap me in your golden glow
What is dark? I need not know.

Stay with me my little friend
For it will soon be dawn,
When specters of the night will go
And you’ll settle with a yawn.

John, this is a lovely poem. You brought the little candle out to be the main star, which is what it is in reality. When you are using something to dispel something else, it should be the main character. As I read it, I can actually see the scene playing in my head with a little toe-headed boy, tucked inside his footie pajamas, making his way down the very long hall to his room. Unescorted of course, which is why he fears the dark. If his mother was present, or even his father, their reassuring voices would calm him and he would not even be thinking of what lurkes in the dark! Thank you for sharing such a nice piece.
