I wake with dread
Heart beats like
Butterfly wings
Future is fear

This night the Storm
Moon calls to me
Come--embrace the
The cold -- the still

Listen--night sky
Sings mystery
A symphony
of wondrous awe

A maelstrom that
Swallows me whole
I am gone--dead
To live once more

awaken
all around us
is on fire
people we love
burn
