Fears and Fantasies

Fears and fantasies entwine
to make a whole picture of life.

We fantasize a life of love...adventure...incredible achievements
as we soar far above the common man, 
to a level that no man has ever
gone before.

We stand at the edge of the surf
but alas,
we are too timid to place 
a toe in the water!
