Repast of Night

Night wants to devour me.
Quiet envelops me
in a dissonant din,
and beckons me to enter
its dark cavern. A chill,
light as a feather, traces
down my spine, daring
me to recoil. I seek
asylum, away, afraid.
Moments tremble, gathering
momentum as they pass.
A lonesome light encroaches,
disturbs the tranquil
solemnity, passes,
oblivious at last.
