LOVELY AND AFRAID

Updated: Oct 1, 2022

Death erases future and Life is future

so it's easy to let the prospect of death dictate life.


it is more prudent to allow

the prospect of life to dictate life.

The very name of this is Love.


as life passes by, we learn that

the prospect of death will destroy life.

The very meaning of this is Fear.


They wrestle eternal for each human soul.

a person’s basis is one or the other,

so when both meet, reality fragments.


‘Love’ driven by fear is most Destructive

even as ‘Fear’ driven by love is most Protective.

a decision must be made

from a dual infinity of eternal paths,


Which way do we go

–to be lovely or afraid?

This epigraph shall not fade:


Acts of love

driven by a heart thereof

is most

Transformative
