smaller than we thought

 
Real we know they are not,
but strangely enough,
quite frightening they may also become.
 
Some say that in the darkness they live,
whilst others claim that under daylight 
they may also appear.
 
Shapeless as they usually are
from our fears they feed
what only assures us that it is
in our minds where they actually live
and nowhere else are they to be found.
 
Nonetheless, rationally speaking 
clear this understanding is,
but when flooded by fear, uncertainty 
anxiety or anguish our heart becomes,
we cannot forget that there is always
a helping hand that comes to our rescue.
 
Because with Him, alone we are not
and what seemed to be larger than in fact it is
under His light its due dimension it achieves.
