Three tall bony fingers
stretched into the night
Topped with hope against the rising tide
Illuminating
what waking tries to hide
Propped up by the content
of your soul

Though I can’t see
The illusion still remains
I was at first
alone
Fears given life
by a flickering light
Beyond the lucid veil

Haunted by what resides
beyond the glow
It's poison spilling
deep within my mind

Though I can’t feel
The illusion still remains
I was at first
alone
Fears given life
by a flickering light
Beyond the lucid veil

Now, from the void, it emerges
Cloaked in horror
Nightmares of flesh and bone
Nothing

So reveal
the darkened figure
Eyes adjust to the flame
Creeping like those bony fingers
Stretching into the sky
