Fear : me

The cringe appeared no further

He thought of no miracle, no wonder

I pondered till the edge of reason
if this is what they'll choose

Did you feel it as you crossed the barrier
between child and man

Did you fell it when you paved the chambers
of time when it was at hand

Will you feel it when the sea
Covers the beach amidst a steady gentle breeze

Where was the danger you asked
it is all but a nasty threat
to our human existence
to our emptyness

Did you see it coming

Did you turn the tide
Did you watch the house
Burn out of sight

I saw it through my naked eyes

the facial expressions change
I saw them sigh

I saw them grieve
I saw them cry
I saw them curl into a sphere
Of misery,darkness,demise

I saw them change shape

I saw them purge

Into the realm of darkness
Into the horizontal world

Of nothingness,numbing the soul
Of no faith in the world
Of no feeling but a strange void
within a blurry mass of vulgar sewage

I saw it all
through my naked eyes
I saw them fear
I saw their flight

I saw them for their hurriedness
I saw them for their cruelty
I saw them for their mindless thoughtless selfish purgatory

Fear unlike anxiety
Requires external force
Requires a stimulus

When there was no stimulus
there was no fear
and when there was no fear
I saw them

but they saw me.
