The spirit moves
Yet the body is still
Paralyzed by a numbing
Unending fear
Time and place
Seem caught in space
Eyes scan the room
Seeking the familiar...the safe
Out in the dark
Images form
Things take focus
Room suddenly warm
Awakened early
To a feeling of dread
Anxious and shaking
Fighting the demons in my head
Left to wonder
Was I dreaming or dead
Time to get moving
Face the day ahead
