Conquering Heroes Some carry fear as if it is a treasure Locked in close to the chest as if letting go of it will stop our hearts from beating, pulling our very lives away We listen to its voice telling us ~~No~~ Yet in the echo we hear a whisper Our souls are crying choking back the word ~~Yes~~ In our minds we see all we have to lose but draw the curtain on what is to be gained Uncertainty rules the dreams we have A government without ~~Wings~~ Shadows keep our eyes trapped in dim light How small would this dictator called ~~Fear~~ appear to us after the revolution A coup by our own ~~Courage~~ © caroline 1999 It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |

My every thanks to all of you who replied to this piece. I was a bit worried about it since it does roam from my usual and I wasn't sure how it might be received. You all inspire me to keep reaching (gotta try and keep up, ya know!) Love every last one of you! And Severn...Oh aye, girlfriend, I'll still argue it! I have six cakes to bake tonight, so I'll be back to read in between mixing and baking! LOL It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |

If you bake cakes as good as this poem, they'll be 'angel food'! |

Dreams, a Government without wings... Intruiging thoughts - a truly memorable phrase - perhaps one day a famous quote |
