Fear
A Spiritual Poem

Sometimes the darkness is my friend and hugs me close to her bosom. Sometimes I hide in the shadows and wait for the hand of God to grab me by the throat and toss me into the wind. I watch the fireflies burning up the night with their passion and hope that I will be alive tomorrow when the sun rises from its grave. I listen to the beating of my heart and dream of finding my way home through the underbrush. Thorns prick my flesh and I taste blood on my lips.
