Fear just enters my life
without permission.
Like an armed robber it
sneaks in and trys
to steal my joy.

It does that, doesn't it, dreamgal? Wonder if Wal Mart sells fear remover in a spray can? Worth looking into.

I just HATE it when I comment on something and it doesn't post it on the site I commented on.

You might be on to something there Jerry,
if you could patent it and sell it you'd be a rich man! lol

Unwanted guest indeed, but so meddlesome!

You said this very well, dear dreamgal.

... we need to make a bundle of all those impulses of fear and launch it far away from us, so that we can catch our harmonious, trusting breath again.

Love and joy.
Margherita

Keep up the good fight and don't let fear steal anything from you.  Especially your joy and ability to express yourself through poetry.

Perhaps it is the history of your sorrow that is this unwanted guest, the one that tries to steal your joy..

Perhaps it is like Frost's November guest..

"My Sorrow, when she's here with me,
Thinks these dark days of autumn rain
Are beautiful as days can be;"

Fear, to me is like that-- it thinks November days are beautiful..

But we have the ability , most of the time to turn them into May.

Your little poem dug all of that stuff out of my little brain...that shows how effective it is.... :-)

Darn. How'd I miss this one, Dreamgal. Short, not so sweet when the fear ogre is about.
