Half Past Ten

Outside the night swaddles the land
In darkness.
Small fires, lanterns
Hold the beast at bay

No such light or warmth for I
Huddled in blankets
Eyes wide with fear
As the knocking stops

A handle turning, hinges squeal
The stair
Betrays it's passage
It gets to my door

I hold my breath and tense as
It skulks around my room
Every Christmas eve
I like awake and wait my doom

    My friend, @sazbird Here is a well deserved up-vote for you! I never forget anyone who helps me become stronger and you fed me with 5.4 STEEM and the last time you fed me was 37 days ago. Your effort meets my strength and enables me to help you and your friends even more!

    Yours, Spinny
