Loving Fear

Fear,

be my guide.

Tell me not where to hide,

but lead me to the dark places

I must enter

in my quest

for Light.

Take my hand,

gently.

Whisper words

so I may

trust you,

Wise One.

Gaze into my eyes

so I know

that

you

are

separate

from

me.

When I try to

kiss you,

caress you,

dust

you become.

My arms hold

not you, but

Courage.
