Starting the day

awakened by self-doubt

criticizing all I've done

so I face within

resisting these words

embracing all that I am

keep moving forward


A morning meditation on fear

A morning poem

	my fears whisper 
just below the birdsong
through gritted teeth

A poetic meditation from this morning. I’m up earlier than I’d planned, with a racing mind. Seeking to make world practical and free of risks. A boring life that would be methinks.

Safetyย 

His soul hides

Deep within old leather covers 

Safe upon the shelf 

Sometimes pulled down 

Blowing dust free 

Forgotten poems read 

In the fading light 

Of dusk 

Facing fear, putting it in its placeย 

โ€‹Fears can speak loudly 

We must learn to not let them

Paralyze our will
