Tonight no dogs barked
no twigs snapped
and no shadows lurked in corners unseen.
Yet in her,
fear built,
with thoughts of that night -
some nights ago,
only intensifying.
Her faith reminded her
that harm was far-
despite the scar,
and
it’s all over.
yet tonight confirmed,
that last night,
when at twelve-
the twigs snapped, the branches shook and the dogs barked
her thoughts –intense
Were right.
