Fear

When you meet dread
Be unafraid


Fear lurks to feed
To consume need


Dare to live bold
More warm than cold


Fear strangles cheer
Watch faith flood sphere


Seek light in truth
Action moves proof


Fear spreads false blame
Play your own game


Be of pure mind
To act in kind


Fear cannot be
See what you see


Joy moves deep cheer
Live faith sincere


Fear is but fear
That much looks clear


Seek that sure light
Watch love bloom right


Fear is but dark
Gone as light sparks


Colours now tint
What grace now mints
