no fear

 

Don't be frightened to scour the caves
that lie below,
don't be frightened to lose the thread,
and not quite know.

Don't be frightened to ride the sky
when thermals flow,
don't be frightened to ground your feet
where seedlings grow.

Don't be frightened to trust someone,
let tensions go,
don't be frightened to plunge deep in
joy's undertow.
