Fear is a shadow that leaps into sight to remind us we are fragile. Love is the web of strength that keep us expansive. Both are a dance inside ,that is forever realized. Take heart and laugh at the shadows!

Re: The only thing we have to fear
Completely true... and even then fear doesn't have to be so frightening

True... then we can recognise it for the emptiness it is and move on.

Re: gypsypoet1975
It is, and it's not even an honest bully. Luckily Love and Trust together are honest and genuine and once those bloom fear cannot remain.

Wise, full of strength and honest. Nice to see Fears fires put out. Confidence and vulnerability do share a similar light.

Re: Lion
I know, it's disappointing isn't it? but then I am walking away from the poor practises and dependencies of previous relationships and sometime the new territory is frightening.

Re: If you can stay in a moment of love
I agree completely and I am learning to balance in the moments of love - especially those of genuine love for myself, because I don't think it is fair to expect somebody else to carry the burden of defeating my fears.

Re: you should never fear...because u have such strength in your heart to
Well I am convinced that I will get what I truly need... but sometimes it is hard to let go of the dependent habits of the past and embrace an aura of love and trust in the world.

Re: Softly panicking
Thanks rubypoem, I think the past leaves pitfalls in it's wake and sometimes it is easy to slide into fear... they trick is to let it pass and then get on with the good stuff

Re: Lion my friend
Entirely true... and yet the fears always seek to return, don't they?

I like the set up in the first stanza, it gives the poem its life line! The second stanza is affirmation, resolution and commitment! It is simply remarkable how dire becomes strength and I resound in the imagery of the second stanza will over come the first! Pretty darn cool! [Or like my son says, "Crazy good."] sam

If you can stay in a moment of love

fear cannot invade. Fear and love cannot exist within the same moment. When you know your fear and let love control, you've won. Nice Poem
