I fear little
not death nor life
not pain nor uncertainty
not turmoil nor the future
I am not sure about fear.
I see so much and so little
emotion, for better or for worse
reaction, to life, or to my small piece of life now,
possibilities, laced with hopes and questions,
pitfalls, those named and those unspoken.
pitfalls, those named and those unspoken.
l want goodness for us
not only goodness, but reality and truth
challenge and possibility, then
comfort and assurance in each other,
awareness and consciousness of life together and its abundance.
I know this is all we have
life now, shared existence
this is what we share:
life now
this is what we must celebrate:
life now
I fear only these
obstinance in love, faith, forgiveness
obliteration of memory
oblivion without the redemption of love and life.
and that’s all, folks....
