~Unknown Knowns to Fear~

The trees are darker than the sky

They don't hide and they don't cry

They just sit and stare,

As you lay blissfully unaware

The sky is vast and infinitely big

But the trees are sturdy and haunting in the horizon

In the sunsets light, the sky is bright and the woods are void black

The trees will swallow you whole

But the sky will set you free

Because there is no greater beast, than the endless woods sitting in the endless East

Sometimes the things we should be afraid of

Are not the unknown

But the very known things

That we see everyday

And maybe those things will devour you too

As the star specked sky watches on

Knowing it all
