FEAR-FLAME, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Is it any wonder
Last Line: To visit with god.
Subject(s): Fear; Flowers; God; Prayer; Roses


Is it any wonder,
Hating dust,
I cling to my cheesecloth
And family crust?

Is it any wonder
That I burn
With fear of dark-dust
When I return?

Tuck some red roses
In my hand,
And pray a little prayer
Where you stand,

When I am sleeping,
For I may know
You are late for dinner
And want to go.

But I will not worry:
Green is the sod
And I may not wait long
To visit with God.
