Place Unafraid

find me
a place
where rage
is smaller
than sand
hearts are
as vast
as sky
where I
am no
longer afraid
to be alone
nor afraid
to be
with another

Fear is a double edged sword.
Seems we're damned if we do and damned if we don't.
I hope you find that place in between.

... and when we overcome our fears
we are so much stronger.

Very touching, slick one!

When you think you have heard it all,
listen more closely.

I often hear things or read things and say to my self “Why can’t I write things like that”, reading this was one of those times, I have to ask – what’s it like to actually write something this good?


Btw - I’m not sure such a place exists but if it does and you find it can you drop me a line.

There is such a place....it's inside you. All you have to do is seek it, and be ready to accept what you find.

This a beautiful little poem, and it is most definitely going into my library.

if you find it...
I'm sure it would be bad, somehow.
thats the way everything works.
But let me know if you do!

this is good.
Always, Alyssa

helen,
I'm fairly certain that makes us neighbors! WooHoo!!!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
