Every Fear

Every fear Here beyond the sandstone crease Long beneath this fractured fault I take my bow as tears do cease Collected in a cardboard vault Dreamt of moments spent like this Where the sky does touch the ground Lost in the horizon’s mist Following a whispered sound Walking long of nights and days Breathing in the feathered air Changing course in mad display Seeking but a simple care When your hand appears the light Shining down of softened beam Cast aside and to the right Read my thoughts of which I dream Take me from this cautioned place Show me bright un-faded land Lead me for I long to trace Every line upon your hand As I feel my heart does beat Now that you have led me strong With a love I must repeat Hold me close and hold me long This may be my dying part But my life is now fulfilled You have breathed into my heart And my every fear is stilled

Ohh I love that. "Hold me close and hold me long", as a tear slid down my face :)

WoW! Chris, You are such a talented and gifted writer. Your pen never ceases to amaze me. I found this write to be well written and thought provoking. Is it about someone who was afraid to die but is no longer afraid? Well that what I got of it, nevertheless exceptional write:-) Alexis
