Fear

Do you fear death?
More specifically your
Death as opposed to some
Objectionable stranger dying,
Why bother fearing what is
Uncontrollable? Better to
Accept fate and push
On unless grieving is
More pleasurable
Than finding a
Bit of new or
Even oddly
Inappropriate
Sort of happiness
By living again even
Though we know no one
Can replace the one lost who
Was our great love or child
Or whatever you have
Lost but fear to find
Some new person
Or pet to fill your
Life with new
Anticipation
To share
Learn
Love.
Fear isolation
Not of your person
But of your soul
Your turning
Inward of
Emotion
Better
Expressed
By tears rage
Pain but then moving
On to live again as
A new person yet
Your old self in
A new form
Of life.
