Fear

While struggling with common daily fears and struggles
I create truly amazing worlds from my daily troubles
Imagination reigns supreme as worlds form in an instant
Fueled by nothing more than mind’s constant torment

Inspite of being mind’s chimera, time and space appear
To be quite real and inviolate to the eyes of the seer
Weaving their magical net constantly to trap the unwary
Beguiled by the persistent flow of images and quite dreary

Never once does the bedazzled soul seek to know
The truth that lies behind the illusion of time and flow
Even though it recoils ever and anon by the stings
Of birth and death, pleasure and pain, that duality brings

I take a deep breath to still the consistency of changes
And thoughts that march as the wide prairie ranges
Because I know that I am not separate from that which is one
As Infinity blossoms regardless of whether we lost or won

I am getting addicted to your poems, thoughts...what a wonderful gift, talent you have in expressing your thoughts. Which will ultimately brings you fulfillment. If I can get to all my fears which will bring peace and joy

Thanks. Hopefully the addiction will not be harmful to you :-))

Anyway: I dont write these poems: I am inspired to write by the Divine, so there is no personal component involved here.
