Fear
Fear is an ocean
Where ships cannot sail
People can't swim
And plants cannot grow
Fear is an ocean
Where the waves are bigger
The current is stronger
And the water is deeper
A raging sea
With no blue skies
Or sunny days
It can control the weather
Fear is an ocean
Where the tide holds you captive
And no matter how far you travel
You never find shore
Where ships cannot sail
People can't swim
And plants cannot grow
Fear is an ocean
Where the waves are bigger
The current is stronger
And the water is deeper
A raging sea
With no blue skies
Or sunny days
It can control the weather
Fear is an ocean
Where the tide holds you captive
And no matter how far you travel
You never find shore

Fear can be over come. It's a slow process, and you need a submarine. But the endless deep is inside yourself.
I loved the imagery in this. One thing I have feared in life is the oceans and the aliens creatures of the abyss. So, I was stuck in a cycle of imagining oceans within oceans, within oceans. Scary.
Great piece.
Thanks for sharing,

What I fear is the loss of control I have over myself, which is why swimming in the ocean forces you to let go of your own body and you are under her control. I am willing to use a submarine. Thank you so much for this thoughtful response!
