Darkness and Light: A Book of Poems

Fear

Fear

Is the dark water

Of the pond

It screams

Of loneliness

In the dark space

It's blinded

By the truth

And drowned out

By the lies

The cold

Empty night

Begs the silence

For the barest

Of whispers

For the most faintest

Of breaths

As the openness

Surrounds it

The trees cave in

And it's left

With only

The truth
