I Fear...

It was sly,

A secret smile

The lies in being fine

And it’s only mine

Chameleon bravery

From a spirit cave

And my murmuring

Sound wave,

"I'm not afraid

Of breathing

Or dying"

Yet it was in odd rhythm

With old songs

In my heart.

Wailing songs.

Saddened heart.

I was,

Afraid.

There was pain

Pain

Brief

Then a relief

It turned over

Now a mind “artor”

A creator

Of healing

And winning.

I am

Not

Afraid

To create desert

In Rain forest

And crop legumes

In Sahara sands.

I fear,

Not the tragedies of life

Not its emptiness.

I fear,

The strangest and weirdest things in life,

Nothing.
