"fighting Fears"

I hear whispers that sing past my ears...
Telling me that my walls are made of fears...
A breeze flows through my clouded mind...
Little secrets and hidden words that I find...
Some come down on paper, others I file away...
Take them out in time for a better way....
My insides pray for peace and salvation...
For more days of love and consideration....
Take a breath of air from a cool summer night...
Hold it in till the butterfly's run out of sight...
And sit and remember all that's good in this life...

I think this was the answer to my earlier question, I think I knew that. Just hard to remember sometimes.

Michael, i have a poem that expresses the feelings you have here. I named mine (Secret Sounds) I wrote it after my mother past away, I was in deep pain. I do not think my fears where easy to fight off, I sure did write about .. Hope it helps you out. Michael, thanks for your kind comment, my heart still goes out to you and your family. Take care and have a blessed day,..LeeAnn

Hold tight to that last line, Michael. People and things pass through our lives quickly, but it's important to sit and remember the good things in life. Love, Carolyn
