The Knight's Battle with Night

Felix, Anna

 

The nightmare: He’s always like this

Always that ominous figure in the snow And tonight

He is Morpheus

He is the fearsome tormentor of my dreams He is

Ruthless.
He fills my subconscious

With pieces of horrible memories
And rips open old scars he created.

The Blanket: He’s not always like this

Not always the eager protector bracing for a fight But tonight,

He is Apollo
He is the mighty guardian of my heart He is

Comforting.
He wraps his gracious arms

About my shuddering form And gives me sanctuary.
