Fear

 

Nothing feels familiar,

The world is an illusion of the past,

Not knowing where days go,

The light is fading fast.

Purpose has departed the person,

 No longer living in a farce to survive,

 Waking each day in a cycle,

Barely feeling alive.

We no longer have our others,

Distant and hidden behind masks,

For help God gave us each other,

For alone no one can last.

Sleep has departed the many,

Our blanket is the darkness of night,

Haunted by dreams and worries,

Praying for the coming of light.

A bad dream is short lived for all,

For we all know we will wake.

When reality is like a nightmare,

It is more than anyone can take.

In the night let me lift your eyes,

So that you may look at the stars,

Like them we are still together,

You are never alone by far.

Family is the strength of living,

Though past or present or to be,

Love creates families beyond blood,

Here online a family can be.

Through the heart we remain as one,

For love’s bond draws us near,

More powerful than sadness or death,

Love is letting go of fear.
