Nightmares

What dark tales arise in the midnight hour;
stories to raise the hair on the bravest head.
All your darkest secrets suddenly revealed
in their most damning details.

Who would believe such a gentle soul
could house such primeval horrors,
that one who worships love
can also countenance such hate.

Brave is the heart that can face
its capacity for both good and evil
and still choose to take
the path towards the light.
