These Senseless Fears Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

-THESE SENSELESS FEARS-

The fog lies motionless above
the dismal ground,
like a misty vail,
it covers the earth-
blinding us to things
around.
In the dismal darkness,
figures dance across my vision,
like mystic characters
of a senseless dream.
The wind tosses branches
to and fro,
as my fearful mind
envisions things untold.
Fear-dispair-uncertainty
enfold me,
but then a luminous light
fills my life from within.
Radiant joy and hope
release my wandering soul.
Soon darkness fades
as gloom and mist assend
and change the night
to glorious day.
A bright new knowledge
releases me
from the senseless fears,
replacing them with the
neverending light of
peace and faith...
