Listening to every heart

almost a year ago I was in a situation and quite unsure of its outcome...but to get me there, I had to see some strength in words, which I undertook to write, myself. This is the product of that moment...I re-thank all of the poets who responded a year ago...and thank you once again for the opportunity to share myself with the poets here...

To Fear Fear Itself

This is what makes me human,
my very own brand of fear;
while deep within my soul
His words of comfort I hear.

Listen, I do, to the voiceless words,
a deep drumming of honey, warmed
by love none like I’ve heard,
telling me I face no harm.

Yet I fear this fear itself
this face of the unknown,
even tho in His hands I be
safe, in his haven Home.

His Angels, they surround me
they are so real and then not;
His voice comes through them well,
sharing all of what I’ve forgot.

So I must realize that this fear
is only Satan in disguise,
and I should trust my faith in God
and know my fear is trust unwise.

You know I was doing so well with this until that last line and it hit me right between the eyes...and I can't get around it....you always do this to me somehow...anyway was this a time when you were doubting your relationship with God or is there something else I'm missing here...a wonderful write ! Poor Eric can't understand something this simple....

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

Some of us are wont to say: fear is mankinds greatest enemy. And so you have spoken.

Be well

I'm so glad I read this one. This is something that I feel that I'm going through right now in my daily battle to grow spiritually. Satan is always busy and often clouds my mind with doubt. I need strength; and I think your write just gave it to me.
Thanks....
Your always so inspirational in your writes.
