It Came Upon a Midnight Fear

The day culminated in feelings of relief. 

I endured pain, trauma, and grief. 

The sun has set on the day's toils. 

The moon appears brighter with the absence of noise. 

I lay in bed saturated by comfort and rest. 

Finally laying my head on hope's breast. 

Then at midnight it all began; 

Fear and dread of the new day set in.
