For silent moments lost in time Either a ghost or a ghoulish slime Ascends the stairways of the mind Revealing fears of a varied kind Fuzzy-focused fevered dreaming Endures all of the scary scheming A malignancy of meaning Reduces one to soulful screaming Fractured feelings alone to freeze Encrusting even the balmy breeze A chilling fright that never flees Revels Fear, who holds the keys... "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." |

(big hugggssssss) So sad but well-written, sweet friend, fear is something we are all tied within and it is our job to overcome it with love and compassion! (kiss on cheek) So well said, sweet freind, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bonnie, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

So said Franklyn D. Roosevelt. And, of course he is right. Fear is only based on anticipation of weakness or guilt. Only by confidence and faith can we live and be assured that all is and will be well. And, after all, most of the things we fear never happen, unless we make them into self fulfilling prophecies though actions we bring on by fear.
