Dark Anxious Whispers

should joy or gratitude I find
and dance with them in dreams of bliss
dark anxious whispers will remind
that dangers lurk in hiddenness

I love these kind of poems. Short with a potent punch. Shades of Emily Dickinson's style, methinks. A FAVE! Best wishes, Gershon

"dangers lurk in hiddenness" - this is something the people who are doing mean things are counting on. It resonated with me. Bring it into the light, and it shall be dissolved I think.
