My soul clings
to me
like a child
to his mother
for fear of it's
immortality

Well said
Dear joe,
this is universal and humane. It's not only you but everyone's feeling in fear of death.

Hi Joe
"For fear of its immortality". One of the most thought provoking lines I've read in a long time.............stan

Hi Joe
For me I found "A child clinging to mother" a very appropriate and powerful expression of the emotion of fear in this short yet profound poem....

aha
an even greater poem
pure of feeling and expression
im still fighting it while others
are going
nothing to do but to dress well
and walk with it at my age too
i like your line about the soul
i can feel this one well
somedays i feel like a gumball
in the machine
the whole sound and motion
when awareness lands
like that hit at the nickel
door
awesome poem

a child is simple in awe
