Beset By Fear

The skies were clear, a cloudless blue His heart beat red, his love was true His hair was black, his thoughts pure white The moon was full, the time was right Jed cleared his throat, no sound came out He'd lost his nerve, there was little doubt ... Eagerly Becky had waited, 'till beset by fear She slipped away, eyes streaming tears

Sadly it wasn't to be Gershon. Bout of nerves killed the romance before it had a chance. Tom.

Ice-cold...I almost posted the sixth line as: He'd lost his nerve, the big dumb lout --- but I managed to restrain myself. LOL. Thank you for your continuing support and encouragement, M.L. Best wishes, Gershon

I think true courage is speaking the truth, but it can be overwhelming -
