Life Despite Fear

It's not a life without fear

But a life despite fear

That keeps me in the game.

Why strive for more

if there's nothing

to get your feet on the floor?

Why reach higher

if there's nothing

to motivate your desire?

It's not a life without fear

But a life despite fear

That makes me master every challenge.

Why run faster 

if there's nothing

to make you move past disaster?

Why work harder

if there's nothing

to generate your going farther?

Many people say live a life without fear

But without fear,

How do we master each challenge?

How do we face new horizons?

How do we inspire?

How do we succeed? 

It's not a life without fear

But a life despite fear

That keeps us ahead of the game.

I live life despite fear.

Can you say the same?

ROOTS AND WINGS

I thought that wings would help me fly

Would help me sail the world

But all they did was teach me how to fall

Was teach me to walk and stay on earth.

I need roots with wild streaks to keep me in line.

I can’t keep up with winged streaks

I just keep falling behind.

I cannot fly before I walk.

I cannot walk without a thought

To that which I’m walking on.

In time my roots will let me grow wings.

In time I can do anything.

Ongoing Decisions V

Forced to make decisions again and again

When will this come to an end?

Time's not on my side.

Reality's rude.

This time life,please,

 have something positive ensue.

Element of Space

The huge cube stood flat on the ground

Smooth and Black

Standing next to it confident and strong

The Beauty climbed the ladder towards the top.

A space odyssey

Domineering it's place.

Big, Black, Blank;

Harnessed power of a thousand ponies

Burning inside.

Time stands still.

Bursting with internal light

Stars take flight

How high does the ladder go?

The beauty will seek,

Climbing until once again

Smooth and Black,

Harnessed power,

Burning inside

The huge cube stands flat on the ground.

SEEDS OF DOUBT

Broken Hearts and Shattered Dreams

Promises not kept

These are truly hurtful things

that make us feel inept.

When all’s not well inside your world;

When you are feeling lost.

Here’s a gift I give to you

Inside this trinket box.

Tiny pearls of wisdom

To cast out Seeds of Doubt.

A heart filled with hope and joy

When yours seems without.

Pennies from heaven

To make your dreams come true.

Each coin picked

Especially for you.

When you’re in need of comfort

And it seems far away,

A look inside this treasure chest

Will help you through the day.
