Fear

fear, a cool creature
laughing out loud
enjoying the torture
for it stands at a distance
while we tie ourselves
by our own greasy ropes

to be free of fear
a strange thing to be
to hold on, yet release
to reason hard, yet let go
to think oneself high
yet know it could be foolish

fearlessness, a flight
as balloons, to treasure it
knowing it would burst
where life and death merge
into total acceptance

  1. you have great writing skills. keep it up

  2. Once again the curious tension between fear & faith, and how caught between them we flutter like butterflies in search of a flower upon which to land . . . Thanks for the verses . . .

    • Thanks. I am only touching the edges consumed by the shine while the precious stone is too big to hold. I heard somewhere – “the more I see, the less I know”…
