Chambers of Fear
The temples talk, walk, breath,
Glorious in there appearance.
Hidden, invisible, sacred chambers, reside.
Electric fences strung like Christmas lights
draping a tree,
Around the perimeters ripple,
Tremors from life's unexpected shots hit.
Screams silent, ping, breathing short,
Panic grips a vice.
Hearts mice on exercise wheel races.
Demons creep,
Fire darts needle sharp into temples chambers of their minds.
Torment cruel through the helpless temples night.
What are these that invite themselves into sacred chambers?
Invisible thieves called fear or fears living within chambers.
Taunt,haunt, drive, rob, paralyze,
Unconscious insecurities, needs, anger, bitterness, warnings,
cowardice hosts.
Living inside everyman masks of fear in the secrecy of hidden
chambers living in temples appearances glorious are revealed.
