Fear
July 2020
Look at the fear See whence it rises I cannot crave liberation Cannot talk of freedom Till I face my fear See how I cling to it See how I savour every nuance of it As though it were a love letter From a secret lover And when I see it For what it really is Fear Only an emotion the mind feeds MY mind I can smile I can watch as it arises Watch as it grows Weaker each time Because of the watching
