Terror Takes Flight

Terror Takes Flight

Into your arms I run
from the shadows of the night.
Darkness cannot find me;
the terror takes flight

Safe, now, in your warmth,
my heart still beating fast.
Frightening things unseen,
fade into the past.

You are my place of refuge,
unlike any other.
My protector...
My Mother.
