FEARLESSNESS

To, build resistance, resilience

we need to know fear, personally, experientially:

meeting it in our flesh and bones,

before we rise above it - undo or dismiss.

There’s something alchemical

called transmutation:

an elemental process that upgrades, uplifts,

evolving into something else, other. 

Sometimes it’s sudden,

or mayhap undetectable, perennial, generational.

To create eventual immunity, 

without weaponizing words.

Only the broods of Darkness

can parade screens of fear -

 our projections, to perceive.

Albeit they may have a duration

a moment - or 3 fated days - 

to manifest.

Ancestral, societal, communal

terror and the dark doesn’t endure before Light and Love;

they shift, lift up,

personal or collective:

and once full-term, ultimately birth the visionary, unimaginable New.
