I’m frightened when the wolves howl
Too wild is their call
I’m frightened in the mountains
Feeling big for those too small
I’m frightened in cold winds
As frost won’t thaw my heart
I’m frightened when I write things down
As truth comes out in art
I’m frightened by the mystic’s way
For what might they uncover?
I’m frightened when I speak of love
And lean upon my lover
I’m frightened when the night draws close
As stars are all I see
But mostly I am frightened by
The strength I have in me.
