Fear <br /> <br />is a vulture <br />that hangs on the heart <br />of the bravest soul <br /> <br />Waiting to sink <br /> <br />long greedy talons <br />into blood red flesh <br />and render it <br /> <br />Lifeless. <br /> <br /> <br />(Previously published in Transcendant Visions, Fall '99)<br /><br />Laurence Overmire<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fear-164/
