Fear Not

I do not fear the raging
sea with its thunderous
crash of waves..
My mind stays in perfect
peace throughout my alloted
days~
I flee not from the face of
man for fear brings a snake
In boldness do I stand my
ground where others would
surely quake~
At the voice of thunder I
do not hide, nor can lighting
change this heart inside~
And fear with all its thousand
faces I unmask through heavenly
graces~
Surely death would make me swallow
my spit as it taunts me from its
morbid pit~
And corpses chant dirges that I
might lose my faith
But my spirit is lifted to a
higher place~
Yes, in this world of woe I might
stumble and fall
But through the love of God I
conquer all~

Hi, cafetwo2010,
But my spirit is lifted to a higher place~ When faith elevates humanity to the higher plane of peace through love, it is truly a gift, by the grace of God.

Dear Cafe Jim,
Been in your poetry box yet again. And been greatly rewarded yet again.

Beautiful poetry, beautiful poem

and the ending most beautiful of all:

"Yes, in this world of woe I might
stumble and fall
But through the love of God I
conquer all"



Miss you, love you, Cafe. Thank you so, so much for leaving us such a beautiful legacy... I've read & enjoyed loads of your poems, as you know, but still haven't begun to scratch the surface. There are still hundreds of gems to discover any time I find myself back in your poetry box aka treasure box aka fabulous, beautiful, hilarious, kind, compassionate, adventurous writings of a great poet and even greater human being.
XO Always, Cat rose rose rose

I love the way you stated that, Lindsy! Yes, he lived to the end what he wrote back in 2011.

And I just noticed a comment he made that's the kind it helps to remember in this world - (you know, I think both his poetry and his comments are a legacy here) - the comment:


"...I try to get accross that faith is quite needed in a world where sometimes everything seems to be falling apart. Real faith is real peace..angel "


Gotta remember that one. (See Jim - you made a far greater impact than you felt you did... and we love you for it- XO)

He was a rough tough Angel of God walking this earth. Well done God's soldier - please give my Mom a hug and kiss in Heaven - might shake her up a bit but I bet she would love it! laugh Miss you old friend.
