Dark Fear

a cold chill

is in the air

the trees

still

afraid to move

child..

what have you

written about?

i hear

whispers

from the past

silently i see me

handing a paper

to the teacher

Dark Fear – A Challenge

she reads out

aloud..

starts to read

and forgets

to speak

the words out..

she reads

the last word

and silence

takes over

hands the paper

back..

calling out

as she leaves

please

put it

on the display

board

for everyone

to read

i see me

put the papers back

into the bag

confused..

but that was

only for you

teacher

i see me

slowly

leave the school

one last paper

remains behind

fluttering

to the ground

the words

scatter in the winds..

now the chill breeze

brings the page

back

to me..

…..

…..

and then

i shall find..

the dark layers

unfolding

in my mind..

and me

profusely

thanking nature..

for her way

is the best..

i admit

with pleasure..

for fear

has gone

beyond many bounds..

but is powerless

beyond

a certain limitation..

for..

death comes as the end

and fear

comes

to a halt..

everything to earth

that is sent..

comes to a just

and rightful end..

with not a tinge

of fault..

thanks to Nature

a marvellous creation

the words echo

in the voice

of a child..

helpless..

lips smile

form wades on…
