Terror

Darkness surrounds me

a smothering miasma

where do I turn

where is safety

the bleakness of hopelessness

the swirling tentacles of danger

threatening, coming ever closer

is this death coming nearer?

I hold my head still

hoping to see clearer

as I suddenly open my eyes

and see morning light

I realize it was just

a terrible dream in the night
