The Dark

The vast emptiness
Both calming and scary
Dark is dominating
Swallows light in a flash

The Dark is a beast
Eyes can’t adjust
Minds cause strange flickers
Hallucinations of the deep
Your very fears come alive
In a single second

The second all light vanishes
The Dark works on your mind
The Dark is a scary creature
Feeding on your fears
But the final question is…
WHAT is the Dark?
