Fear is not the key!

Fear not

the hello

for goodbye

will surely follow.

But fear the love

for the flower

will dwindle

as decay

becomes of us.

Fear not

the sound

that makes

you peek -

it will only

alarm you.

But fear

the wolf

who holds

you down and

rips off

your gown.

Fear not

the feet

that creak

the stairs

for its

only to

scare you.

But fear

the ocean

that will

engulf you

as her waves

slowly caress.

Fear not

the haunted

but carry on

undaunted

those ethereal beings

will pass

straight through you.

Accept the unknown

the unknown lives.

it probably makes little sense to fear the unknown....even the known...we might be careful, might be wary in life...but we still need to move...this reminds me of "Hound" by Robert Francis....about how life is equivocal...like a hound running at us...we don't know whether we will be rended or befriended...
excellent piece,
