Night Terrors

"...Scream with the walking rain..."

Night Terrors

In each, lives the thought,
Of the nights tremendous wrought.
Scream with the walking rain
The time, sleep, it will detain.
Holds up the mind with dreams,
Without comfort so it seems.
A parent's hug redeems,
But they're gone and it sees.
