Fearing Fear
There are watershed moments
at some point in life when,
in the floodlights of reason,
the most hideous ogres
in blood-curdling nightmares
turn out to be
just tiny, frightened mice;
when, in the glare of sober logic,
the worst terror,
the most horrible demons
are shown as mere shadows
of matters that are,
after all,
of no real consequence!
