Favorite Quote:
&quot;The Dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins, but in the heart of its strength lies weakness: One lone candle is enough to hold it back.<br /> Love is more than a candle.<br /> Love can ignite the stars.&quot; -Matthew Stover

When the windows creak at night,
darkness lingers,
fall of rain.
Sometimes I get scared--
well knowing
it's my imagination.
But cannot help it;
no matter how hard I try,
fear dawns on me.
There is nothing to do,
can ever do,
except to be afraid.
No reason stops my thoughts
--fear isn't logical.
There's no way to stop
there's always that cold fear locked up inside your very soul. You can't escape it and can only feel its weight.

© Dana D., Gansevoort, NY

The author's comments:
Scared without a reason to be because you know it isn't real and know it's all in your head and know it's all just a part of your imagination... And yet, somehow, you're still scared.
