Fear Waits for No One

  

The tug—

 a draw-string

p

with damp clammy hands

draining composure

into a vessel

of gut-wrenching panic—

 

whiteness

which suffocates reasoning.

 

And the mind

whirls like a gust of wind—

that ends abruptly

with no promise of tomorrow.

Chilling. A vivid portrayal of an emotion which I hate; fear. Thank you, Tracie. Well done. Love and peace to you,

you captured fear vividly ... the "trick" is to learn to control our fears ... controlled fear is power ...

You captured fear in a very deep and chilling way Tracey!
the uncontrolled kind! fear can be friendly if it alerts
us to something not good. But not the kind you write of!
Superb poem!
