Fear like the pain of growing
setting off the thunderstorm
The alternatives being the borders and betweens
of confusion and reformation
Fear like the lonely glooming
dimming the sun and the fixed-stars
The alternatives being the borders and betweens
of the chilly plains and darkness
Fear like pleas of forgivness doomed
dulling the nimble emotions
The alternatives being the borders of
the evil being and the new, with no in-betweens
Fear like love perishing
Gropingly trying the sides of death
The alternatives being escaping or
praying for the words of God
