Fear

Transfixed his eyes ahead, he stood
Lost in a dismal, despondent mood
Ahead the darkness bleak and grim
His hopes and dreams fading dim

He shuffles toward the looming black
With a heart of dread, need, want and lack
Gripped by terror he keeps his gaze,
Far too spellbound to turn away

Yet all around the sun shines bright
But he has wandered from the light
And now the darkness is much too near
For he is fully consumed by fear
