Fearful Fantasy

Once again, I foolishly fell for familiar fears

down a dark, doomed fantasy spiral

the Devil snickered, snidely slurping up my tears

demons delighted while I felt futile, forced to perform in Fear’s recital

fires blazed rampantly, roaring as Ego’s smoke caused me to choke

exploding like an atom bomb in my mired mind, feeling so far gone

until, astoundingly, angelic awareness wrapped around me like a cloak

beaming as brilliantly as my inner resiliency, and I realized I’m not alone

a serene shift swept over me, as my heart and soul began to lovingly lift

my sparkling spirit began to drift, as guardians guided me to a silent space

back to that peaceful place, to receive breath’s blessings and gratitude’s gifts

water wells were my eyes, cleansing lies, as reality extended its embrace
