Hear. Hear. I am on board for this indeed. I am not afraid of much of anything really. What you describe is on the money. Faith basically negates fear. I love your reference to creativity towards the end as I think that creativity is a critical component of our existence. It is something we are meant to do and should do. You have certainly done so here with some amazing poetry. Well done. No sixes left as I am sure you've heard several times!! mikey

OK... well I liked it because of the message. I am not a fan of the deep dark justice you write. What I mean is it is not my kind of favorite reads. You do have a passion and the ability to write.

    Thanks so much Izzabell and I understand this may not be the right time for you to consider my mission here and that is very much appreciated. Your rating on my poetic work is much appreciated. Kind regards, and blessings to you: HIS GRAYNESS

There is no fear.

Fear is only the partner that I spar with,
Battling possibility of pain and chance of gain.

But the shadow that does not exist cannot be fought
And the opportunity denied cannot be bought.

Hell is where I play and, when it goes,
My life slows and drifts away.

Fear is .. no one, a million miles away,
To fight alongside me and hold back the day

When fear is no longer there.


Nice story.
You remind me of a guy who reminds me of me ;)

I Won't give up!

    Dear Erik: welcome to my brotherhood ... we must truly understand and embrace the fundamentals where rubber not steel must meet the road of reality. We only have the gift of choice, we only have two choices. Love or fear. simple as that I'm positive...only two teams in the league of reality. We must play for the one we love....ah .... that would be love. Vance

Dear Vance...seems we are on the same page....I have been reading a lot, and thinking of this very subject...fear...is it only what we allow it to become , in our minds, then manifesting into our realities, because we lose sight of the Light, God, we lose sight of who we truly are...is fear then, who we call Satan, blaming our fear on a Satan, so we won't truly have to be responsible for finding our way back? A Satan made me do it, type thing...I've been wondering. Rather long, my reply...I would give you a six for this beautiful journey toward the Light...but until tomorrow...I'm out...I send you Blessings instead!

    Dear justjo: I was hoping to hear from people such as you who have confirmed their love for GOD and always search for any energy or hand-holds to grip on the journey upward. It seems so hard yet it is simply so simple, faith is such a wild bird! Love and blessings to you...Vance

I enjoyed reading your poem. It was written with such usage of descriptive wording that it kept my attention throughout the poem.


Fear is one of the largest problems most people have to over come.
