Food for Thought

ENDLESS FEAR

 

Listen in the silence

That is where you will hear

Not all of the whispers

Of the people around you

Taking in their fear

That is contagious

No good can come

Of that

 

There are questions

You are allowed to ask

And some you wouldn’t dare

 

If you didn’t know

Life pushes you along

Without the chance

To stop and think

 

A place of risk and

What you see as danger

Or the land of broken hearts

I have learned actions

Speak much louder than

Anything you can say

 

Find your voice

Speak your truth

You only have today

 

If you jumped into the

Lake right now

I’d put money on it

You would hold your

Breath

 

It makes you believe you

Never would do anything

Of substance with or

Without a plan

 

If you soak it in and

Allow that to stay

Then of course

You will never

Find your way

 

What we do in between

Is the interesting part

 

Walk that path

To the Journey’s Edge

Let go of all that fear

Today is the day

Get started

 

Don’t be

Afraid of your

Life as it is

Be afraid if you

Never begin
