FEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT <br /> <br />Fear in the middle of the night- <br />Fear and horrible imaginings- <br />Fear of my life, <br />Fear for those I love and our world, <br />Fear in the early morning <br />Fear and more fear- <br />Fear broken a bit by the light, <br />Fear broken a bit by morning prayer, <br />Fear broken a bit by ‘learning’, <br />Fear broken a bit by writing, <br />Fear broken a bit by morning coffee, <br />Fear less- <br />Fear in the neck and in the mind- <br />Fear down the spine- <br />Fear less in the light, <br />Fear of the night <br />Fear of the morning, <br />Fear of my life, <br />Fear for those I love and our world, <br />Fear. <br />Fear and fear less- <br />In the writing <br />In the prayer before prayer- <br />In the walking outside up to Shul <br />In the morning light <br />Fear gone for now, <br />Fear.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fear-in-the-middle-of-the-night/
