While speaking I <br />Noticed my sister move into my sight <br />And suddenly she was not 12 <br />But 4 to my fright. <br />Her face had contorted in my minds eye <br />And I stared at the face of her little girl eyes <br />Fear, Fear drenched my body in cold sweat <br />She mumbled her sufferings in a continous lull <br />But all of my focus was fixed to her face <br />Youth, innocent <br />God, forgive me this rebase <br />For I began to back away <br />From this vision-my eyes now closed tight <br />God please take it away <br />just leave me alone this night <br />And so with a keening cry <br />I ran right up to my bed <br />and fumbled with the light.<br /><br />Candice Renae Williams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-strange-fear/
