do you fear fear
a nail biter? a bedwetter?
or are there other compulsions
you cling to
step out, from the stale shade of the dark
that consumed you
no longer does it
feel the warmth that the sun casts down
sometimes, it's all one can do to beat the blues
this road of life is rocky
and it sees us all stumble
you chart your course
stick to it
as a blade meeting grindstone
water's introduction to limestone
