Love Poem: Fear

Fear

Fear surrounds me like a forest fire 
Consuming all my thoughts
I freeze, no path looks safe to follow
All logic has left my mind

Everything once peaceful and beautiful
Is now life threatening
What has changed so quickly
Everything was fine a minute earlier

I try to calculate how long before I suffocate
I cant find my breath
I cant feel my heart
The world is spinning out of control

The desire to protect my heart 
Calls once again
But it comes at an enormous expense
I have fallen in love

I look around for something familiar 
To bring me back to safety 
I see a cloud and it reminds me that all things are passing
Just wait, just breathe, just be
