the twisted road finds dark corners
twigs snapping beneath
the softest of
footfalls, fear
creeps damp, cold
the sense of not being
quite alone, like sweat clinging close
but this is no
horror story, not
a journey of fear
listen, follow step into the space
around the bend
where light bursts forth
according to plan
in exactly 55 words
smiles...that is a nice sense of not being alone for sure...round that corner and run for the light...smiles.
