Fear Poem  FEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

Fear in the middle of the night- Fear and horrible imaginings- Fear of my life, Fear for those I love and our world, Fear in the early morning Fear and more fear- Fear broken a bit by the light, Fear broken a bit by morning prayer, Fear broken a bit by ‘learning’, Fear broken a bit by writing, Fear broken a bit by morning coffee, Fear less- Fear in the neck and in the mind- Fear down the spine- Fear less in the light, Fear of the night Fear of the morning, Fear of my life, Fear for those I love and our world, Fear. Fear and fear less- In the writing In the prayer before prayer- In the walking outside up to Shul In the morning light Fear gone for now, Fear.
