Fear And Love
Whether you want
Things will happen in your care
Under your watch
To you and yours
When you need
Something happens
Inside us all
And spreads across spaces
Fear and love
Often sending the same chills
The same excited waiting
Anticipate change
Or sameness
Getting what we want
Having it taken
Fear and love
Are uncertain
Neither may be justifiable
Or both may be
Irrational or reasonable
Sane panic of hope
Blown out of proportion
Or exactly what we expect
We hope they continue
Or end
Whichever applies
Unless neither applies
Or should apply
And what needs done
Is just living and waiting to see
What will happen
You do have a gift. I love your poetry.
Thanks!
You get it.
Do I? I’m never quite sure.
Me neither.
I am about to post something for you. Come on by, though I won’t be around but a minute or two.
Gonna have to be tomorrow. I be going to bed. Unless… I might.
Good luck with Mrs. H. Maybe you can tempt her with some bacon lube. Nighty-night.
