Fear motivates,
Drives us mad,
Greed, envy, despair:
And we know not how to resist.

Emptiness: A Meditation
Echoing within
A gnawing pit of emptiness,
Resisted, feeling.
Overcoming fear
Overcoming fear
Refusing paralysis
Drinking deep from life
Echoes of Anger
Fearful of ancient rage
Rattling dusty cadavers
Forgotten dreams
Hidden within
Away from the glare
Of expectation
Early morning wakefulness
Still, fears rise up
Providing discomfort
And misery; wakefulness
When I seek sleep.
Insecurities
Insecurities
Flickering across my mind
Sleep brutalized
Insecurity’s Fruit
Fears, insecurities,
Like rocks within
Sand; motion works
To grind all that’s
Good to dust.
Expectation’s Tyranny
Torture one’s psyche,
Contort our minds beyond
Recognition, seeking a path
Defined by fear’s engorged
Demands
Fearfully we start
Any new change bringing dread
Which we must resist
Fearlessness
Fearlessness,
So hard to embrace.
Fear serves us well.
Protection from malice.
Yet, this protective weave
Eventually stifles growth.
We prattle on
About not letting fear
Control our lives.
And yet, so often, it
Does. Aversion to risk
Really the highest calling?
I seek freedom from
Fears. From that strangulated
Grasp, embracing what may
Come, trusting in both
My ability to hold the joy
And that good will come.
