Anxiety

Dark clouds gather-

rain un-called tears

to dull the light

from breaking dawn.

 

Cruel fingers pluck

at threads of fear,

unravelled from each

time worn night.

Where shadows grope

the unknown path

to steal a future from

all sight.

 

And drums beat loud

upon the torment

of the mind.
