Fear is a silly word
Say it out loud
Sure the "eeeeee"
might be mistaken
for a girlish scream
But the "ur" reveals this word
for what it really is
Afraid
Now that's a well made word
They put the R behind the F
where it belongs
Together they launch the open "ayyyyy"
which stretches as long as you like
I prefer to imagine the word
falling off a tall cliff
The "ayyyyy" growing increasingly distant
until the shudder of finality
that accompanies the inevitable D
I'm sitting in the theater
ReplyDeleteWith the clock nearing the midnight hour
Shiv'ring
Not just with chill from an overworked A/C
But with excitement
Anticipation
Fear
Depression
Frustration
And a little bit of dread.
This is THE end. The END.
My childhood,
It's last vestiges,
Gone.
The books are complete,
And now, so too are the movies.
And I wonder, what shall I do next?
My savior through my troubles,
The small and the significant,
What shall I do without you?
I wish I could leave my problems behind
As I used to, fall through ink and paper.
How will my life play out now?
How will I survive? Stay sane? Stay whole?
Stay me?
I guess now is the time to discover,
And all the tomorrows.
So, I have one last thing to say,
Simple in form,
Complex and deep and earnest in meaning:
Dear Mr. Potter... I will miss you.
