A Woman's Fear

Vast stretch of darkness

Looming ahead of me

Scared I was, not of otherworldly things

But the people around me.

Whom to trust in these times

Mother told not to come home late at night

My eyes gave out my fear

He stepped up as he understood my plight

Offered me a walk to my home

Words need not be spoken

Somehow my thought was conveyed to a stranger

Which would not have been guessed by thousands known

That act from the uber driver

Build a strength within

So this is my ode to a stranger

Who stood with me through my thin.
