Short Fearfulness Poems

Move the doubt dwelling there
Midst faith and fearfulness.
Miracles are found where
Man’s hope breeds helpfulness.
Make choices steeped in pray’r;
Mix trust with truthfulness;
Marvel at Christ-like care.

Fearfulness falls in heavy drops
On one who wonders 
About the tomorrow that was once a ten,
And now is only a five.

Life unwinds like a slowing watch
Sowing deeds good and bad behind,
‘Til a wall of impenetrable fog remains
For etching by the finger of forever.

Fearfulness falls in heavy drops
On one who wonders about tomorrow....

Soul-freedom*

joyous, peace-filled

ministering, sharing, leading

liberty, growth; deprivation, fearfulness

Guilt-imprisonment.

*Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Twilight flows into night,
the blackened sky fills the mind,
lurking figures appear close by
objects distorted by the dark,
odd noises wax and wane

different feel, different look,
different meaning.
Fearfulness descends
and hovers above,
there is no escape,
all that is known is lost,
the dark calls for its prey...
Do you hear my voice?...

The man said, we are treated as children
By almost every tradition and religion
As with goblin, gargoyle, fairy stories 
Socialized into fearfulness: losing memories, lives -

II
Jesus taught, "I have overcome!" Recall His Resurrection:
O death, where is your sting, O "sin" where is condemnation?
Whether one meditates on space, or my beloved "Sky-ness"
Humble gurus you prefer, Pursue Peace (Shalom of Jesus)...

Loss is intrusive

Deafening in its presence,

Intractable in its longevity,

Intimidatory in its fearfulness.



Boldly it gives rise to emptiness,

Serving no master!

Wishes scattered abroad for encompassing

memories long gone,

Experiences indelibly imprinted!



Kindnesses, love, lifetimes gone;

Dreams, notions, passions unfurled;

Missions, relationships, friendship alone

Reveal viscid qualities to a persona hurled.
