Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
Fear cannot be beat
With fear’s heavy hammering
Only love will win
Stand upon fear’s edge
It’s sharpness cutting my feet
Seeking compassion
The future staring
Despite my deep misgivings
Uncaring of fear
Fears wrenching my soul
Darkness intertwines within
Please, never give in
A storm faces me
Destruction; my own making
Irrational fears
When fear arises
Tranquility’s clarity
And vision distort
Tranquility asks
Freedom from tyrrany’s reach
Into the within
Frustrations pounding
Cruely dissecting my faults
Mountain air saves me
Love is free from fear
Force and control is not love
Important, this is
Staying within the corners of my dreams,
Afraid to break free and explore the edges.
Light’s glorious textures outside my bounds,
Unable to reach for starlight beyond my gaze.
