Poetry Party Day 3

7/27/2010

What do we all know,
but can never bear to say?

Out hopes, dreams, and wishes
could all get brushed away

Something that was once so small
has continued to grow

You can feel it in the air
in a field
in someone's eyes, that haunted look

You feel it in music
You see it in art

In all of these, our greatest-
fear

Fear that drives us
hides us
destroys us

In our fear, hope dissolves

In our fear, dreams are far

In our fear, a wish is nothing.

Fear of our fear
growing stronger and stronger

Protect us.
Save us.

But the only one who can do that is me-and
you

Us.
Fear.

Fear
Us.
