The Light Is Born

Carl Setzer

Within the darkness

Are the parents of the light

Violent beauty 

Proactively Dealing With Fear

Carl Setzer

Proactive or not

Fear demands our attention

This calm, Autumn night

Do not give into fear

Carl Setzer

​Do not give in to fear

Each step of acquiesce

Feeds the beast

Growing it

Face it down!

Demand it sit

Then lay down

Into the dirt

Acknowledging

Your power

Fear gains it’s power

Carl Setzer

Loving our neighbors?

From the seeds of our distrust

Fear gains its power

Politics of rage
Why are we so negative?
This land of plenty

Don’t Let Fears Win

Carl Setzer

Within modern life
Fears can twist out of control
Yet our souls greater

Fears and insecurities cause much mischief if left unchecked.

And there’s always a,way forward.
