Nightmare Chaser

Challenging black eyes finding and repelling fears,
Furred creature with ears rounder than an oval yet straighter than a circle,
Sits silently like a hunter creeping along,
As he whispers I can’t hear a sound,
Quiet like the sun as it disappears like a shadow below the horizon,
If my friend is not with me, nightmares stalk me,
All I hear is the sound of nothingness,
All I see is darkness creeping up on me,
In the dim light of the moon he stays with me,
Shining like a star,
My nightmare chaser – a friend I really need.
