Today’s prompt is a word: Trepidation – where does this word take your writing Muse? What story or poem does it create in your mind?
This is a poem that came to my mind:
Trepidation
Darkness behind me
Fingers of black
Creeping along the cracks
Afraid to move
Knowing I must enter
Fear gripping my center
Where is the light?
To guide my way
From night to day
One step echoes
To me shadows cling
Covering fear I sing
Enveloped in black
Hands outstretched
Slime touched, I gag
Running to the light again
Come another day
Into this archway
When my heart is brave
