Fear holds you close
Your vision blurred
Visions you have are blurred,
Heart beats steady
Yet the rhythm fluctuates
Fear of the unknown
You galloped towards it.
That sleeve of emotion
 Readily you held out
 Collecting your tears as they fell,
 No cushioning, No fanfare
 Thee ensemble you conduct. 
Gathering of clouds
 Random thoughts closing in
 Darkening your horizon,
 Fear holding for so long
 Not once but many have heard before.
What say you misery
 Shall we party to sunrise?
 The appetite disappears with settling of morning dew,
 Run towards that fear
 You fear it not.
 It fits like a well worn glove.
 Tighten that fist
 Enclosed the stilled heart
 Shattered to earthy dust,
 Let if fall through your fingers
 Let you gather the sweepings
 Remould if you dare.
As it hardens with slow use
 Will you soften?
 I think yes, your demise
 Tapping your baton readying for attention
 Raised hands in wait.
