Dreams

Day or night, some of us are
Dreamers or sceamers, some
Plan some plot. Daydreams
Are the hopeful kind, the ones
Full of wishes and whims, of
Things we want and maybe
Don't know. Desires hidden a
Bit deeper than fears, those
Come out in the darkness. We
Call them nightmares, in honor
Of a medieval evil spirit, said
To smother sleepers. Dream
In the daylight and let your
Sunshine shine in, dodge the
Malevolent "mare." Be ye of
Good cheer. Dream well and
In peace, in good company.
Day dreams are the hopeful
Kind, where desires are met

What Fears Have You Overcome and How?

Daily Prompt

Fraidy cat fraidy cat...
It's a taunt and a state
Of mind. Mind you, I am
Not timid. Nor scared.
Not a scaredy cat, nor
Am I prone to anxious
Moments where fear
Is unresolved. Panicky
When unprovoked by
Real threats... that's
Just unreasonable. I
Only panic at genuine
Provocation and jump
When you call my name
And I am deep in thought.
It's reasonable to fear
The dark and strangers
And food I never tasted
Before. That mountain's
Too high. That valley's
Too low. This is an odd
And unfamiliar place.
