Safety 

April 5, 2019 Carl Setzer2 Comments

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

Rising up within the calm
Catching me off guard

Do not give into fear

August 28, 2018September 4, 2018 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

​Do not give in to fear

Each step of acquiesce

Feeds the beast

Growing it

Face it down!

Demand it sit

Then lay down

Into the dirt

Acknowledging

Your power
