A new thread since the old one is quite old

So, the poem:

(As usual, I hope it connects with someone)

Change

What is that which makes me afraid?

Is the unknown so very dire?

My progress has been much delayed

By the absence of desire

Sure, I wish, I want, I hope, I dream

But alas I lack direction

Stranded in a stagnant stream

Apathy is poor protection

I cannot control the trepidation

That arrives afresh with each new day

And endless, futile rumination

Does nothing to keep the dread at bay

Night falls up with a warm embrace

Tomorrow starts its siren song

Perhaps sound sleep will help erase

My long-held faith in being wrong?

Hope becomes imperative

Motivation inches near

Not all loss is negative

I bid a fond farewell to my fear
