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. Good write!
