Greatest Fears

My greatest fear is as a worm
tunneling through my veins
getting into my brain
and I listen helpless as mortality tick

I fear what's within time's walls
to hear the ticking of the clock
fearing the chimes of thirteen
fearing the key's click

I fear of not being asleep
and hear the footsteps
of father time
pacing the halls

I fear to count my minutes
to plummet into dreams
in the dark vastness
of vast gloomy fields without skies
