Worrying thoughts creep
Disturbing sleep
Fears rise steep
Calm hard to keep
Doubts start to heap
But faith runs deep
Causing joy to leap
Courage to seep
And victory does reap

Worrying thoughts creep

Fears rise steep
Calm hard to keep
Doubts start to heap
But faith runs deep
Causing joy to leap
Courage to seep
And victory does reap
Rhyme
Fly above the waters of doubt
Don’t let them drown and destroy your dreams
Don’t let your fears hold you down
Soar to the brights skies beyond
Keep looking ahead
Gather your strength
Never give
Fear a
Chance
Nonet
When weariness comes
Keep Going
Flowing like a river
Syllable Lune
I was a bit weary today. One of those days when doubts step in and began dragging you down and you just feel defeated, like you can’t go on, but then…I saw this sign on a shelf in a thrift store, it said: “Keep Going” and I felt it was meant for me, so I perked myself up and kept going, and guess what?
I had a great day! 😊
Think positive thoughts
Keep Going
Weariness will leave
Syllable Lune
Faith holds strongly
Belief based deeply
Un-battered, Un-broken
Heart un-swaying
Joyfully dances securely
Soul peaceful
Doubts fly away
Faith stands firm
Beliefs rooted deep
Unshaken
Deep rooted beliefs
Firm stands faith
Away fly doubts
Peaceful soul
Securely dances joyfully
Un-swaying heart
Un-broken, Un-battered
Deeply based belief
Strongly holds faith

(Revision of Original Poem published in September 2019)
It came creeping
In the dark night of my soul
Fear over shadowed
Covering like a thick fog
I lay paralized
Frozen in its doubt and dread
Until a shaft of hope
Broke through the darkness bringing
Strenght to rise and overcome
Choka
“When you face fear it evaporates. Shadows cannot stand light. —LeAura Alderson
This quote by LeAura is very true.
And this poem I wrote today is written from one of my true experiences with fear. We must face our fears and when we do they will dissipate.
Shakespeare also said it well:
“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.”
(This quote has also helped me to face fears many times in my life.)
Heaven touched earth
Away from the city noise
Mankind’s doubts now silenced
Haiku
Distrusting
Opposers
Unbelievers
Betrayers
Traitors
Skeptics
Acrostic
Doubts manifest fear
And Doubts paralize
Don’t entertain Doubts
Blank/Syllabic
Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
Shakespeare
Looking for a place to run and hide.
Health problems falling like Fall leaves
Upon my foundation of faith.
Above me threatening
Fears loom like dark clouds,
And Doubts circle around,
Causing a chill,
Til I hear
My Lord
Speak.
Reverse Etheree
He says in Psalm 32:7 that:
Don’t dwell with doubts
Doubts are just traitors
They promote fear, cause loss
In life
They keep attempts from happening
Quench good and create losers
Do not listen
To them
