Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7

Prowlers

.

The silence of the night

disturbed by a door click

velvety darkness broken by

the bright slice of a light

footfall

creaky floor board

eyes wide open

ears alert

prowler?



teenager



go to sleep
