Butterfly Flutters Of Fear
By Laura Fuller
How does fear feel? You are calm and feeling free, and all of a sudden, fear takes over. These words describe the horrible feeling of fear in your body.
Butterfly Flutters Of Fear
Butterfly flutters
lightweight and free
adrenalin pumps
chains drag
fear consumes
hearts shudder
His Hand
By Laura Fuller
The had of God can protect you when you have fear. In this case, it is a fear of dying and no breathing ability, but the Lord steps in and takes care of you.
His Hand
Do you believe
his had retrieves
directs his child
calms the wild
The hand of death
take not your breath
prayers of saints
rise against restraints
Fear Creeps In
By Laura Fuller
When you are afraid, you can pretend like you are not and fake it. But fear creeps in and clenches your heart, and takes over.
Fear Creeps In
Fear clenches the heart
consumes the soul
you try to smile
and pretend and fake it
It creeps and slithers
overtakes your thoughts
it fights for control
when silence surrounds
When all alone
fear sneaks in
like fog settles down
to slither around
Fear perceived is not
what happened
has not come about
the eyes can’t see
Yet fear creeps and slithers
like dust in the wind
clenches your heart
til your mind follows along
Fight for control
while fear creeps in
and know that you know
fear is perceived
not yet come
My Hair And Me
By Laura Fuller
Breast cancer has claimed so many women, the disease, and for some, death. But the treatment can steal your self-esteem and cause fear. Here is a poem about what it must feel like to lose your hair from chemotherapy. I, for one, am partial to my hair and would miss it very much. How would you feel if you lost your hair?
My Hair And Me
This is a cohesive relationship
my hair and I have
She sits on top my head
she just hangs around
she takes care of me
In ways different than
I care for her
When I cry
she hides my eyes
When I’m cold
she warms my head
One time the doctor
gave me a med
The one that kills and saves
all at one time
My hair she left me
but not for long
When the drug was gone
she came home
My hair had changed
a renewed life she lived
she was curly and soft and fuzzy
She doesn’t hang like she used to
but she still cares for me
because
As I grow old
my hair she does too
My strength wains
she lightens the load
on top my head
My hair she makes me younger
wrinkles may show
but not for me
My hair turned silver
to hide the lines
I trust my hair
She’s never gone long
We will be friends forever
and ever
and ever
Till death do us part
Fears
By Laura Fuller
Fear is something perceived before it happens. We will often fear that we can’t do something, but if we move forward and hit the problem head-on, we can overcome fear and soar.
Fears
I can’t do this
my heart is singed with fear
for many a fear they are
I might fall
I may let go
How do I do a vision
of my dreams
My heart sings
unto me
the words of love
Yes, you can
grow, step out
bare your strengths
the fruits of labor
trust who you are
your heart to guide
lift your head
spread your wings
and soar above
and if you fall
you rise again
Fear Of Success
By Laura Fuller
The fear of success is just as great as the fear of failure. Either way, if we give in to the fear, we will not accomplish anything. Success is not how much money we make but how much we give back to others.
Fear Of Success
Success?
fear of failure
a purpose
of self
Success?
a fly in the night
hummingbird
takes flight
a measure
of time
of space
within my soul
before the world
what I give
in offering
Success!
COVID, Fear, Death
By Laura Fuller
In the year 2020, COVID took over the world and produced fear in each one of us. It flew in on the darkness and took the lives of so many of our loved ones. Even in a real threat like COVID, we can overcome fear and move forward.
COVID, Fear, Death
I awaken, bright sunny morn
light graces the sky
time moves forward
darkness surrounds
Sickness all around
angel of death awaits
our Lord will greet
you at the gates
Heads of states
and countries alike
gather together
to save the world
What is your Story?
sun turned dark?
lonely?
noon fades to night?
Sleep to dream away the day
but hard-shelled demons
invade
spinning out of control
Fear consumes
engulfs your world
what ifs of imagination
life perceived
Angel of death steals away
the Risen Son
rescued by blood
your night is the light
Each poem has a part that can reach each person. Fear is real, but it is our minds wondering and worrying about the future. Set your mind at ease, knowing that all feel fear at one time or another. We all know how you feel.
Thank you for reading. My goal is to change the world one word at a time. Please help me by sharing and helping others.
