"fear does grip tender hearts" and sometimes immobilizes the person to the point of inability to go on. Profound, Gershon.

'Trust stays panic's flight' - so true, also like 'tousled hair's nervous' - great lines!

Thank you, Alexis. I tried to describe 'fear' as best and as poetically as I could. Thanks for your support. ~ Gershon
