Within these walls a storm brews
a child shivers
arms wrapped around
the storm surrounds
a pull of a blanket
protection
back and forth
back and forth
rocking
a rolling crash
the walls tremble
hug the pillow tighter
light creeps beneath the door
monsters climb the child's walls
the thunder grows
the storm is endless
the monsters move closer
the child huddles
hiding beneath the pillow
clench eyes shut
the thunder erupts
a lone tear escapes
followed by a rain of many
the wind screams
the child whimpers
silence
the storm has passed for another night
peace
the child sleeps
