Word Poetry Challenge #13: "Fears"
Walking silently on the crisp autumn leaves,
My feet are moving faster than usual,
The sun is shining brightly,
But my mind is occupied by darkness,
It questions me again and again,
How far before we fall?
How long before we fade away?
How long till we crumble to the floor like these leaves?
How long before the autumn of our life arrives?
How long? How long?
It keeps asking me,
Fear and despair occupies me,
Like dark clouds looming over my head,
But the heart knows,
That after every fall we will rise,
After every autumn a beautiful spring awaits,
After every storm there is a calm,
There is fear but the hope still remains,
Whispering into my ear: 'Don't give up, love. For we will shine like crazy someday. Let the fear have it's days. For there is an end to everything'.

Well-written and well-played @illusions16! I loved the way it described the Fear and how there is always a shining end to it.
Thank you so much @mechanicore. It means a lot. All the love. -PB
