yes, we are all different, all of us a variety of expressions. why are afraid? it does make one ponder and your poem serves a great reminder. thank you for writing this piece. it was such a delight to read.

We are born with only two fears. The fear of loud noise and falling. Our intelligence creates our other fears. If we are not inquisitive and learn about what is really dangerous and what is not, we will cower and fear. Many fears on this earth are very unfounded, particularly when it comes to other people. I have found in my travels that people the world over have the same kind interests at heart. But fear sometimes creates barriers between us.

But in one stanza, I detected a fear from the deep unknown… Is there a god? Is there some intelligence out there much greater than us, arriving at our small planet to destroy us? I always answer, "No!" Any intelligence capable of traveling between the stars would find us very interesting and have a solution for all of our fears.
