Fear Falls Fast and Thick

march snowflakes

Fear falls fast and thick.

Icy terrors cover logic in a blanket that mocks security,

Smothers a summer’s-worth of growth

in cold-calculated seconds.

But faith is a hot summer day,

A mind disciplined to thaw frozen lies

And dispel anxious snowstorms;

Melted, watery thoughts drip

Drip

Drip

Onto softened soil.

 

 

 

 

 

Three Course Meal

frozen mango tango

 

pain steals in soft

frozen fangs

tempted by exposed underbelly

plated appetizer

*

 pearly whites gnaw

masticate

savour slow the flesh of broken hearts

 main course destruction

*

faith foamed and frothed

tenderized

redeems gnashed, broken ingredients

  becomes sweet dessert

*
