a certain kind of fear

by jan oskar hansen - Scorpio

A Certain Kind of Fear.


I'm my own mystery
Unable to read the pattern of
The hastening sky
Or to understand what's in my own heart.
I sit in my stillness 
Wait for the whispering voice 
Deep within
To tell me why I'm fearful of the day.
The voice soothes me 
And I will not leave my room
Before the day is over.
Twilight will protect me 
From predatory eyes.
