Irrational Fears

Fear can be like an axe hanging over our heads. We never know when it may fall.


Poem Artwork

 

 
 
Never has it been so dark,
Rarely has it been so drear,
Hanging o’er my head an axe
Causing me such dreadful fears.
 
Eerie sounds of unknown source;
Swirling mists with lingering chill,
Self the cloak I huddle in
Feeling wretched, lost and ill.
 
Far away a cheery glow
Like a halo soft and bright
Beckons me to venture near
Creeping through the starless night.
 
The lamp of faith is offered me
Revealing then, a face so kind
Dispelling soon the fear of night
Comfort, now, in Christ I find. 
 
When hand in hand I walk with Him
The axe-head always disappears
I’ll gladly trust my faithful Guide:
He gives me courage, hope and cheer.

This is what I call
a really lovely piece of work!
"Comfort, now, in Christ find.
He gives me courage, hope and cheer."
Thanks for sharing, Marilyn!

Unless a person has made acquaintance with the Good Shepherd it is hard to comprehend how He can be a comforter and guide. We believe in the planets which we have not seen, so why not believe in the Son of God? It is His presence in friends and loved ones that is also a tangible blessing.

I hope you find a Christlike person, a shining knight in this land of the living, who will take your hand and show you the way beyond your fears. If everyone had someone like that in their lives, much despair would be over.

Interesting concept; your irrational fear and finding a heavenly figure to dispel your fears. Ashiff

Loved the poem except for the last two stanza's where you cling to an artificial deity . . . eh . . . If that is what calms your essence, so be it.
