One night I awoke
to hear a sound
but when I looked
no one was around
Alone in the dark
eyes wide shut
nothing to calm
my hearts loud thud
A footstep or a door creak?
An animal about?
Frozen in silence
A moment of doubt.
Look to the North
to the East and the West
A prayer far from the South
Let me be safe and at rest.
Protect me my loved ones
keep me far from harm
leave me to live and be comforted,
full of strength and without alarm.
