The Invincible


 Fear walks noiselessly 

Among the milieu 

How the mind works

Only the one who

Tastes fear knows.

There are many

Silent warriors 

Who beat fear

Just to prove

Nothing last long.

Either you accept life

Is just sand passing 

Through the fingers

Or let time frame

The path of destiny.

  3. You can let fear get the best of you or you can let it flow past like so much sand, I like the sounds of that technique. Maybe that's why there is so much sand at the beach; it's where fear goes to rest...

  5. Great take on the prompt. We fear the otherness, what we see outside. And fear can serve as a protective shield that prevents us from connecting to others.
