Fear

Fear
can cause us
to wrap ourselves
in the warm,
comfortable blanket
of worry.

While encircled in worry,
we are in control,
we are ever-vigilant,
not allowing anything
to happen
without our observation.

This protective cocoon,
however,
can quickly entangle us,
growing in size
the tighter
we fold ourselves
within it,
eventually enveloping us
completely.

Hi, my name is Jacob Anton (ANN-tin) Davis. I am a husband, father, attorney, and writer. I have written poetry and fiction as a hobby for the past 20 years, but I launched J. Anton Poetry in 2019 to share my writing publicly. The poems of mine on this site largely describe my thoughts about the deeper connections and meaning in our everyday lives.
