Stepping into your greatest fear.

Little steps,
tiny ones
you feel the boost
to be the one
The one to step
into your greatest fear
you know how it felt
you remember the tears
You recall the sadness
you remember the pain
of being that fear
and yet you remain
You survived,
you made it
you walked on home
but that moment
to step back,
to visit again
often awakens all the strain
the calling of your soul
at the deepest place
You sit and wonder
Can it be done
with new eyes, new heart
new feelings undone
You know that yes
is the answer to this
but somewhere inside
there is still a little rift
just a movement in silence
that flickers on by
it settles in you
and you want
to wave it goodbye
but rushing it on
lets the fear only subside
not go away
but moved aside
parked and waiting
for you to bring it alive
Sometimes I think
that the only way through
revisting fear
is to step into the new
The new you and
the old fear as one
let it all play out
and then you have begun
To see how that fear
from the past comes in
but the new you awakened
can often begin
to let it all be
just move through it all
open to the experience
and let yourself fall
Fall if it needs to be
once more, in your gain
Let the core fear awaken
I am ready to take aim..

Nice poem.
Very enticing.
And a good visual effect.

But I am still not stepping into my greatest fear.
Good try though.

Nice.

Once upon a Dream
Certain fears appeared
I wanted to vanquish them
and they called me insane

So I said "How about
I come over and hug you
with unconditional Love?"
The Fears agreed

"You do that, and our energies
will become the same for you,
Your Fears will become your loves
I said, "I see!"

Fears faced and embraced
can become the most
powerful allies
and friends.

Fears are so primal
they are body to our soul
they whisper about happenings
they reach like strong saplings
they wrap-up our attention
they daily urge us to grow

for the thing that we fear-over
is the lesson to be learned
is the understanding that awaits us
is the blessing that's bestowed us
it's the rhythm that mature us
they're the things we come to Know

and when learned they evaporate
they're no longer real
it twas a dream about living
a distant song of forgiving
it's the way the soul nourishes
it's a spiritual meal...


Loved your poem silent whisper! and your follow-up Mayflow was inspiringly divine... :^)

I like this..its what I do most often, but sometimes when the core fear awkens on this side of you, you know it just takes a little time to be sure, one is ready! The core in me has so much connected to deep levels of grief and loss/disconnection.

Its interesting, its not really about the actual experience most often, but more about afraid to have to go back to that space in you and relive how it all felt and at the core level, thats quite huge for me..known and unknown as one..

I'm building for it...its coming...

The core where you lost it all
connections to you,
everything you were born into and knew
To lose it all again,
is a memory strained
on all levels,
this loss
the grief
the pain
that man made wreath
that you hung around yourself
for so many years
in fears
the core, you know
a point of no return
in the childs mind
the core, you know
a point of returning
in the adults mind,
the child and the adult
when they hold each other in this way
still feel afraid..
not afraid to feel fear now
but afraid of what that feeling of fear will bring near
you know,
like what will rear?
Never fear they say,
its easier said than done
but when you know fear to the point of death
to the core of your being taken away

you can sit and say
I will do it *MY WAY*
today maybe
tomorrow, not sure
but one thing I know
I AM OPENING that DOOR!

*me being brave*

That was to my liking!

Grace one day fell upon my soul
It was heavens gift for me to hold
Hold in me for this day to see
that Grace now can always be

Light as a whole,
not fragmented and bound
In the Grace of spirit
I have found
I now allow this grace to flow
into all that touches this grace to glow

The fragments of light I saw outside of me
was my own light self
that i can be..
In wholeness we regroup the soul
In wholeness of self we are no longer told
We simply be..
we feel the grace
we know to trust
we know to face


Face life fully, no longer bound
by the pain of others, but by Grace found...
