Fear Is the Opposite of Love

Fear is the opposite of love

Odium. Rejection. 

Love is

Acceptance 

Openness

Appreciation 

For what Is.

Hard over soft,
Dark over light,

Heartless to heart full-

But emptiness, you choose

A choice!

And you retreat

Alone

For fear is the opposite of love 

unwavering. 

Everlasting.

Abundant.

And so you choose

A choice 

For you know not

That true love is freedom.
