Wisdom Doesn't Allay Fear

(Writing prompt : Wisdom is not enough to calm your fears) Dark clouds of insecurity surge with menacing storm severe, the distressed mind is sucked into the whirlpool of fear, and swirls helpless within the vortex of noxious peril of gale, gets divested of the feeling that the fright could be notional. In times of disaster the journey’s end seems to be the plight, as the light at the end of the dark tunnel doesn’t appear in sight. The frightened senses feel the air of hazard in the unknown, where the debris of hope piles up in the domain of fear outgrown. Beneath the surface of the illusory mortal perception unclear, the wise mind tries to build the sagacious images of fear with the contours of reasoning that the astute insight affirms, knowing the danger and realizing the risk in real terms. Prudence may enhance fear, exposing the qualms deep, but it tenders the skill to rationally control the panic state’s creep. Wisdom doesn’t allay fear, an artifact of emotion innate, but provides the acuity of acumen to face it with strength sedate.

You have done well to describe how fear can be paralyzing to a person, and in the last stanza you talk about a solution to those fears. I like this and as such congratulations on your win in my contest.
