I closed my eyes inside my dream <br />Terror overtook <br />My body shook <br />All that I have feared was happening <br /> <br />I trembled in such fright <br />My shoulders tense with pain <br />Legs were locked in place <br />Heart was palpitating <br /> <br />At once I heard your voice <br />You reached out from the darkness <br />My body relaxed, now free from tension <br />As you told me you'd take me from all that is gray <br /> <br />The evil surrounding dissapated <br />With just one touch from you <br />To know you are on my side <br />And will help me get through <br /> <br />Everything became much brighter <br />The skies seemed to clear <br />My fears put at ease <br />As you chased my nightmares away<br /><br />Lillian Jamison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/banishing-the-fear/
