[Transcreation] Fear
effortlessly
like an ink drop
in water
a wisp of smoke
in air
melting like
knotted doubts do
into my thoughts
timely
like emergency breaks
of a speeding vehicle,
a magnet ensconced
in an iron coil
it fills me up
and becomes me
a virtue in current times
fear

Read the original poem..
melting like
knotted doubts do
into my thoughts
timely
Except the above lines, the rest of the poem has done full justice to the original version.. Very Good!!
