Ice and Fear

Photo and Haiku (c) Doris McCraw

Black cat at my back

Flying to mountain top dreams

Ice anchoring feet

Apex

Embracing zenith
Divesting bonds of fear
Loftiest mountain

Unfounded Tales

Standing in limbo
Mind full of unfounded tales
Fall trees shedding leaves

Barrier

Batten down hatches
Barrier against changes
Riding tide of life

Fear Control

Controlling with fear
Learn to let go is freedom
Life cycle goes on

Scared?

World can be scary
True sensory overload
Single bloom brings peace

Speaks Volumes

Silence speaks volumes
Fear, or just don't really care
Watch the undergrowth

Weather

Wild weather reports
Varying by great degrees
Pray no damage done

Success-Failure

A fear of success
Rivaled by fear of failure
Nature and chaos

Moment of Silence

Moments of silence
Peace of mind before the fear
Life in thunderstorms

Love Too Much

Singer's voice silenced
Love encircled voice with chains
Bird's flight set it free

Fear of Future

Fear of the future
Dark thunderstorm of the mind
Wishing for blue skies

Fearful

Fearful of answers
Life with questions never asked
Snowstorm never came

Past Fear

Try living past fear
Moving beyond each event
Nature's perspective

Fear of Losing Control

Demands on others
Control slipping from your grasp
Creating a storm

Worry

Keeping a brave face
Inside world is falling down
Banks can overflow

Fear and Joy

Some fear the dragon
Some jump for the joy of life
All may bless sunlight

Perpetual Rain

Unenlightened life
Sacrifice others to love
Perpetual rain

Tree Shadows

Nature tree shadow
Silhouette of what is real
Like imagined fear

Hide and Seek

A hide and seek moon
Scurrying sounds in the dark
Unknown brings fear thoughts
