Hear the Fear

Hear the Fear

When the world stops its spins
And Love no longer wins

When the shadows condensely cast
And forever’s forever last

When your sweet sensuous smile
Evaporates in its exiting exile

When the Angels sadly sing
And we feel their scorning sting

When a child stops to laugh
In a faceless frowning photograph

When the birds slowly stop to fly
In a scabrous salacious sky

When lovers stop holding hands
And cures for Love are their demands

When our hearts stop beating
Our Souls lost forever fleeting

When Love no longer seems to last
And future’s become the ponderous past

When faith is sold in a biogenic bottle
And beliefs dispensed at full throttle.

"When a child stops to laugh In a faceless frowning photograph" you hold so many vivid fears, and they are not just fears of spiders or death. The emotional, intangible fears of humanity, it is powerful thinking.
