When we look closer....

Poem inspired from a story about how things can change when we move beyond our fear to see the exact object... or the object as it really is...

Beware of the dogs at the gate
Faces ferocious
Eyes of slate
Don’t even try to test your fate
Best to stay clear
Of the dogs at the gate

Rearrange your life
Abate the gate
Do everything in your power
Don’t give those dogs bait

Stay away, hesitate
Those dogs know how to keep you at bay
But then again
Who are they?
Are they truly, what they convey

Take a step closer, peek inside
Are those dogs even alive?
Stone structures etched with skilful hands
These dogs they come from moulded sand!

Oh my, oh my, these dogs are good
Cleverly made, it’s now understood
Things are not always as they seem
When we look closer, the truth can be seen

Suzie, many times in this life "we" don't see the real person because we make a glanced quick opinion and see a fear in that person that really doesn't exist. Fear can control our lives and keep us a prisoner in our own shell of bones. This is an excellent write.

Enjoyed taking a closer look at myself in this poem. I have many fears needing to be overcome too, but I just don't have the power to do so either.

This is a sad reality, all too often we jump to conclusions or allow our fears to control our lives when they do not have the power to do so.
