The Dispersal

Ominous fear, hate of formless things, squirms unbidden to the surface of an unboxed grave worming its way upward. Fear not are worms not of God? Give shape the formless fears. Disperse the miasma. Confront the horror, known and unknown for are they not all creations of God? Drive forward on butterfly wings leave the cocoon of fear the worms discontent. Free mind and spirit from the villains of despair let sunshine flow through the arteries of man.

Deep writing, Deb, with great images. Your first stanza really does a great job of making someone think of "fear" because that is something I always hated thinking about, lying in the earth with my body eaten by worms!! and yet you eloquently bring in the brighter image of butterfly wings and sunshine! LUv, Andrea
