Today’s poem answers the prompt on Poetic Asides. Please join me in the November PAD Chapbook Challenge and visit that site.
Fear Alone
Being alone scares
Me when I think long about
The bareness of it
Because I am not very
Good company by myself.
I should have learned by
Now to fully entertain
Myself on my own,
But the evenings tend to haunt
Me with their ebon darkness.
Every sound outside
Makes my heart lurch with fear, not
Knowing what lurks in
The night beyond the glowing
Illumination indoors.
I surround myself
With the little comforts of
Civilization
To keep the loneliness and
Deep fear far away from me.
Still being alone
Frightens me, but I will not
Let the fear hold me
Back from accomplishing all
The dreams I want to achieve.

I am grateful:
1. I caught up on some sleep today.
2. I voted early.
3. We were not in the path of the super storm Sandy.
4. We have electricity.
5. My Mom is here to keep me company.
I rested today… I hope you had a recreational and relaxing Saturday. If you are not too exhausted, I urge you to do something creative before you retire for the night. I know it expends some energy and effort, but I assure you the work is worthwhile.
