Fear of Fear

The transience of life, the certainty of death, the value of possessions, the thought of their loss, love of a relationship, weakness they encompass, many pleasures of celebrations, grief of defeat, ebbing currents of emotions in the sea of life, afloat on a raft held by thin string of hope, primal fears of survival from cave days passed on, fear of lightening, or a raging storm to capsize, the darkness, the spider and apparitions from past, long walk through jungle, ears pricked for danger, quest to quell hunger, suspicion of being stalked! fear of then from now, what time may tear apart, see-saw of events, when night no longer be dawn! Stop! freeze that thought, that stands at the door, to your party of emotions, not welcome anymore, hold on to thoughts that brought you cheer, many moments that made life so good, the thought of fear will soon pack and leave, Your life is what you do and what you believe! 20/08/2021 NA Unseeking Seeker sponsored Fear Transcendence poetry contest free verse no intended rhyme
