"Beauty In the Dark"

All the stars run in dread,

All the trees shiver in fear,

I am haunted by all things indefinable,

The nameless whispers of ghosts and children,

What sense may tell you not to fret upon,

But still lurks nonetheless,

But in spite of it all,

I found something

What is this beauty amid darkness?

What is this lure in the black

This pleasing thing when all should  be pain

This beauty in the dark

I don't shrink back from the terror,

When everyone else would flee for their lives,

I just stand and stare,

Awaiting whatever fate slinks my way

In the coaly dark of midnight caverns

And the lost abyss of moonless night,

I run on and on and on,

Deeper into the night,

I run, searching for beauty in the darkness
