Fearfulness
As darkness falls
who will light your shadows
when the moon
does not appear?
Fearful and afraid
of ghosts from the past
who will protect you?
It is still unclear
Who will guide
you with wisdom
through life’s
temporal minefields?
Lead you through
fire and fury
Harboring safely with
love’s assuring shield
As the sky lights
with daybreak
clarity and possibility
reign supreme
Anxieties wane,
fears subside and
unnecessary nightmares
become a daydream

I love your first stanza Christine, what will we do when there’s no moonlight, something we trust will appear on a scheduled time, your words ignite deep ruminations. I love how you created this piece contrasting dark and light.
