Best Hopefear Poems
He sits and foresee his end
the only thing that will kill
it killed him, it killed her
he prays there, wishing for it to never return
how hard he tried
it always struck
made him weak and made him cry
don't deny,cause
you can never hide
face it and fight with all your might
no one can save you,
it's only you,
throw it away, cause it's deep within you
this thing you run away from
always is in different form
you got to be strong
like those days when you were young
oh!! dear fear
don't be so near
we got things to clear
now its time for you to fear, Mr. fear
you have to pay for all those tears
tears of fear have taken back gear
time to smile at least in old years
He stood upon my porch
Poised and ready to knock
Yet, I had to open the door
Before his hand hit the surface
I immediately greeted him,
Asking him to enter, take refuge
From the seasons brutality
“Kind sir?” he started with a whisper
“Why have you allowed me loneliness in the cold?”
I have seen his face many times
But never before now, have I allowed him entrance
I replied, “It was fear, fear for that I did not do, ever before”
“It is with fear now, that I permit thee warmth,
Fear that if I didn’t, all my chances would be gone”
He smiled, placing a hand, gently on mine and saying,
“Fear not, for your heart has always held compassion,
It is with choice that you now share it. May the love
Of the season now keep you warm and know
The new year will be an even better one for you”
With that, he bid farewell and left.
Upon returning to my window later
I could see his footprints leading from my door
To the neighbors and to the many beyond.
Christmas had come in the form if this stranger
Who we actually always knew our whole lives.
