Of Fear and Thought
By: Szpak

Of Fear and Thought

To think for some is not what’s best
For this slaps my heart and pierces the breast
To reveal the secrets within this chest
I will ride the snake out of the west…

I prefer to sit by the lilac tree
And drink its sweet ambrosia tea
It allows for all my thoughts to be
And lets me see what I want to see…

What I fear the most, is loss of thought
Sleep burdens me, and heals me not
To focus? Never! I’ve always fought
For within the unconscious I would be caught…

I still walk the forests with the night
Battle these demons and all their tripe
To keep my mind within the light
I shall remain free, with purest sight…

So where’s your lilac tree I ask?
Is it too far gone or within your grasp?
Heed my omen, forsake this fast
For your snakes lie dormant beneath the flask…
