Endless chasm of a starless night sky

Swirling with sunlight and bathing your inhabitants

Deep ocean you are my terror and my curiosity

So far are your depths we cannot fathom

Creatures unknown hide

Sharp teeth in unassuming places

Harmless death floating aimlessly like leaves in the wind

Gentle giants and minute villains

Perhaps you hide monsters capable of destroying us should our land sink away

As your glittering surface breaks into black abyss

Your ominous presence and lurking deep home to gargantuan beasts and fear

So little do we know of your children

They are our terror and our curiosity

Thlassophobia

Endless expanse of waving figures

What do you hide within you

A ceiling of leaves traps us

Bars of wood keep us contained

Creatures roam about us unseen in your comfort

Unseen and adapted to you

What hides within you forest

What is released into you at night

Hylophobia

Diamond sands shining in the dry heat

Minimalist monsters

Two fangs and venom

A poisonous tail

Dehydrating

Plants have spikes like maces

The inhospitable desert with no protection from murderous monsters

Playing host to innumerable predators

Xerophobia
