A Strange Fear

The Strange Fear


Not wholly unusual, it does come 
Cast the limbs dry and mind feeble 
No morn or saddness, fear it is 
Does it cast shadows on lives of some?

Perhaps not, I have read about it 
In books holy and by scholars able 
No forms or figure, fear it is 
Dreaded and feared even in wit. 

Primaeval it may be and immortal 
A song of the mind, a satire on days  
No shallow or without, fear it is 
Deep within arises and pervades all. 

Universe shaped by strange fear
Through mind in sinister ways 
No eyes or light to see, fear it is 
Yet the blackness shines fine and clear. 

Shine! that's my perpetual being 
I shall be consumed? no, not at all 
Shininess to black though fear it is 
Lie back and enjoy the holy thing!
