Beata Agustin Poet Rhyme

Vanquishing Fear's Challenge

Lurking in my mind*, challenging its sanity

Attacking it by skepticism's tenacity

Toying with my intellectualism's vanity...

Fear**, I vanquish you through God's certainty.

*"Fear is a slinking cat I find beneath the lilacs of my mind." - Sophie Tunnell

**2Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Caren Krutsinger January 2, 2019 at 11:14 AM Fear does often lurk in the mind, and God is the only sword we need to vanquish this feeling. A beautiful poem. I had seen Sophie Tunnell's quote before, and I think you have answered it head on Beata.
