Fear is a thrill

A frisson of cold

Dancing

Like music

Along the vertebrae

Setting our instincts

Into overdrive

Turning mere mortals

Into the wild

Driven for survival

Chasing after

The light

No matter how distant

Somewhere

A candle rests

On a window sill

Set to light the way

Welcoming us

To find a haven

Once more ~ Caroline A. Slee
