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
