Nameless Fear

The sun shines too bright, burning my eyes
my soul basks in fright, I agonize
at this enemy, so cryptically disguised

life goes on seamlessly for everyone else
but I seem, of late...to have lost myself
in fear and pain so unjustly dealt

the vicious edge of broken glass shards
pierces my life and leaves only scars
poisoned arrows aimed straight at my heart

I want to crawl neath the quilt and cover my head
where I can leave all of my fear unsaid
and hide from insidious lurking dread

whispers of fear pervade all my dreams
life's grim underbelly revealing torn seams
a harrowing movie of fear on life's screen

looming so large, this ominous threat
cloaked in a chilling black silhouette
in tears, I awaken...my eyes soaking wet

nameless fear interwoven with pain
a happy life with one big shapeless stain
but I alone, hold the key to my shackles and chains

(big hugggssssss) Oh Lyra, I know this feeling ever too well myself, I have missed my dream girl so much this last week and I dream of her ever so much but I fear I may never see her sometimes and that saddens me, just as I tend to fear so much other things, and I always try and remind myself that everything will be alright! (kiss on cheek) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, may you free yourself of all these chains and finde hope and delight in all your heart desires, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Fear is but a word spawned within the mind.

One which, unchecked grows and consumes all
else...

You have written of this word well...yet it
is only that...a word....

Nicely done Lyra...I hope you are not within
the walls of fear...and that your key has
opened the door..

Loved the graphic! And your poem...I think all of us live there at sometime or other, and you put that to words so well.

Lyra, you paint a most vivid description of fear, the kind that can really eat on someone when they dwell on it. Your poem is a masterpiece depicting the fear monster.

I pray that you are okay, not letting yourself be captured by this merciless tyrant of the darkness. A big illusion!

The best antidote of fear is simply love. God's Love. And you have many loving souls here at passions to share love with you. Take our love, it is free, and some of us are very bold and absolutely refuse to let any fear conquer us, whatsoever. And I feel that you, too are very strong. So let us start a strong loving alliance against all fear!

I can imagine where you’re coming from with this. The “why me” of it all. It just doesn’t make sense does it? I hope and pray that all goes well for you.

Lyra darling girl this is exceptionally good writing, the images that you’ve painted in this are utterly utterly outstanding the ache the souls black fear, they are clearly portrayed.

Darling heart you’ll be okay trust me. I know it I. You really can write wonderfully well. This truly paints a sadly beautiful picture YOU are indeed a master of art here

Seriously good writing darling girl, very very good

In HIM ~

When the shadows seem to be too near
When the path you walk is full of fear
If your soul feels the pain too much
And you face again sorrow’s touch
Look to HIM to drive the dark away
In HIM you’ll find your hope today

When darkness covers up your sky
When your wings are too weak to fly
If the night never gives way to dawn
If your soul feels battered and so torn
Ask HIM to help you in your need
HE will plant in you loves’ pure seed

When your tears seem to always fall
When you can’t hear happiness call
If you feel rootless and cast adrift
If in your heart there’s a huge rift
Lift your eyes up to HIM and pray
With HIM you’ll get through the day

Marsha

I actually wrote this for you yesterday, take care darling heart and I’ll speak to you soon

Love and warm stuff
As always

Lyra,
I cannot ever claim to understand. How do some experience so much grief and others have no clue. But please know that my heart aches for you. It aches for what you have known and what you have yet to learn. I take heart in my firm belief in your faith. Yet I find that my inability to make a difference for you is so regretful. Why do bad things happen to good people? Someday Lyra...someday. I wish you peace, friend.

Dear Lyra,

You have got to stay strong, remember you have just written a poem on optimism...this is how your friends wish to see you.
Magnus writes well when he says that fear consumes
and advises well, so does Larry in his poem of support to you.
so if you have that key to that door please see to
staying optimistic

Lyra,

Fear is a chameleon with
Faces running happy and sad.
And you are a Pygmalion in
Wearing the shawl of as clad.

Life is a bend not an end and
You have my hand as a friend.

Lyra this poem written from deep inside your soul touched me. I savored every word of it. It is heartfelt and the picture added so much to it Lyra. I wish you the best, and God does take away fear as Newell stated above. Love and all of Gods blessings to you. floria

Your pen has painted a remarkable portrait of fear... this is very well written. *S* But I hope that fear departs soon so you must paint from memory. *S*

Whatever it is you are facing, I can see from all the responses here, that you will never face it alone. I will keep you in my prayers, and pray that you will overcome this awful fear and find peace without pain.
