when i turn down the lights and prepare to sleep

into my room those shadows creep

they dance with the lights from the cars passing on the street

they laugh at me and thwart my sleep

they very thing that they fear is the power of light and they disappear

so i sometimes let them frolic for a bit……to watch them dance and do their jig…………and when i tire and ready for sleep the tiniest light puts and end to it…………….the power of light

bring the dark to light and that will put and end to it
