Fearfulness Falls In Heavy Drops

Fearfulness falls in heavy drops
On one who wonders 
About the tomorrow that was once a ten,
And now is only a five.

Life unwinds like a slowing watch
Sowing deeds good and bad behind,
‘Til a wall of impenetrable fog remains
For etching by the finger of forever.

Fearfulness falls in heavy drops
On one who wonders about tomorrow.

So much truth in your words my dearest , Sunlite. We see it too often but a little of hope and the sun will rise again! Love writing!

I guess I missed the mark trying to express apprehension of the unknown. Thank you so much for commenting. You're appreciated.

Thank you for your comment, SO. I guess I intended to express the unknown rather than negativity.
