FEAR Sequel

To make good on my promise from my last post, I will share this poem.

Enjoy!

When the first sunrays

Melt the eerie shadows of the past

And the grand silence of the night

Gives way to the hustling of the morning,

I wonder what today would bring

For one minute,

We are all happy and victorious;

The next,

We are victims of the unknown.

Our plight,

Borne out of the vanity of life,

Is but a necessity.

Curiousity becomes my drive

For only a split moment

Separates life from death.

I muse and discover that

Though we fly

Above every sea of uncertainty

In our happiest moments

Yet in our darkest nights,

We are overwhelmed with the fear of death.

Up and down our emotions go

Like the tune of the piper.

We forget that if we were to depart from here,

We may or may not be remembered

And surely,

Life will go on.

I, for one,

Will entertain no fear!

I’ll ride on the waves of life’s storms

And keep faith throughout every challenge

For I know that

If I were to die tomorrow,

I’d have won one of life’s greatest battles:

The battle against the fear of death.
