The Darkness And The Storm

There's a creak on the stairs,
a flutter of the blind,
something mysterious is creeping up behind.
Don't walk down there,
but don't close your eyes,
it is a creature using dark as disguise.
Hold the candle close,
let the flame keep you warm,
the candle protects you from the thunderstorm.
Something takes your hand,
you look to see,
your heart starts to pound as you try to break free.
"Please don't leave me,
the storm makes me frightened,"
the darkness whispered to the human as his hand tightened.
The human was bewildered,
but they understood,
the darkness was not scary but in fact good.
