Only as Bad

When half-light haze of midnight fog
Grips the lands along the sea
Venturing on gray-veiled meadows draw
Forth horrors that could be

Ghostly shadowed shifting breeze
Evil, tensions star-lit mist
Dampened soundless echoes roar
Forth with ear-starved hiss

Civilized has fled the scene
Leaving malevolent hoard behind
To creep and sneak up on you
Worming deep into your mind

Boring tunnels where panic flows
Abandoned down your spine
Setting whole body aquiver
Attuned to every sign

But no matter how dark and daunting
Those shadows, night or day
The fears that live within the mists
Sunshine will burn away

So carry this thought along with you
As you travel life’s winding trail
It’s only as bad and always as good
As your mindset let’s prevail
