Fear

In the far reaches
Of Kingdom Fae
Along the edges hidden
Is where danger lays

Unnamed monsters
Lurk Unseen
Stay in the sun's light
Walk the moon's beam

Life is as dreams
The things we dread
The things we often fear
Are created in our heads                      Linking to Imaginary Garden With Real Toads 

Fear

No logic can explain away
The fear we feel on certain days
No words, no teasing, no commands
Change our fear of what's at hand

As a child I often wondered
Was I scared because I ran
Or ran because of fear
I couldn't understand

I only knew as a child
At dark I would not run
Because the faster I went
The more scared I'd become.

Burial

In the past we busted ass
To dig that six foot hole
No more no less
The depth was blessed
Laws said
It must be so

My father feared
Being buried alive
I almost put a bell
In his hand so he
Would know I
Listened for the knell

No embalming
No pre-view of death
No stones were piled
Upon the grave
To keep
Wild animals away

For in the past
Graves didn't last
High waters
Wild animals
Construction
All took away

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
I think in death
We may discover
It's not an ending
Simply an Other
