Night Terrors

Spread thy wings of healing o’er me

Bring me to thy bosom now

Night Terra’s plunging, screaming at me

Shrieking, breaking in my brow

Catch me, hold me while I tremble

Father go and find me there

Careening, chasing, grinding, grabbing

I’m fleeing horrors wild and rare

Cover, press me, love me, hold me

Lift me with your arms of might

From those sinking Rooms of Darkness

From those tunnels of the night

Tell me they will never get me

Say they are not even real

Hush away those deep night terra’s

Cover with your wings and heal

~Les Blough, 1997
