Fears for Tears

Poem Artwork

Fear is said to be

                 False Evidence Appearing Real.

            Invented animosity
           provokes a grandiosity
           that drops a thick veil between two friends,
           forces an end where road merely bends.

Might a tear then be


            Truth Elevated and Released?

            Authentic grace and clarity
            allow quiet sincerity
            to penetrate the heart and let heal
            no matter what others claim as real.


   
  I invite you this night:
            let go of false friend fear
            and shed a single tear.

     Embrace morn’s golden light:
            find hope, mercy anew, 
            healing love ringing true .

    
Exchange your fears for tears:
           need for control must stop,
           let truth fall in teardrop.

I am astounded at this beauty, and grateful for your work.
It reached the cornerstones of my heart as has much of your poetry.
The message here is piercing to the depths that will not be forgotten once the poem has been set aside. And that, dear friend, is the very goal of the writer. Thank you.

Dar Dawn,

An extremely powerful poem penned here.
Positively wise words, and so true, spoken from
the heart;

Exchange your fears for tears:
need for control must stop,
let truth fall in teardrop. < < <-- too many are too afraid.

thanks for sharing these pearls of wisdom :)

warm hugs
Elga

Fear is a lot more than that, it is fear that keeps you in check. Good write.
