Brave

Brave and Fear and the relationship they share!

Shivers run down her spine
she felt Fear, like vines
runin wild in the thicket,
mute, unlike surrounding racket
"Coward" they taunt, those jeers!
She ran holding back her tears!

Fear could see her rush
though unsure about the fuss!
Was it him or ambush
by so-called Fear-less moss!
"Bless the ignorant" he chuckles
In pursuit of a heart deemed fickle!

How long has she been running?
His presence resolute, a constant
"You still giving chase huh!" she exclaims
"Brave, you know me, I follow all the same"
Her wings, silver, overspread
as white snow, now unconcealed!

Brushing her tears aside she says
"Thanks for the company so far,
my friend, but its time to part."
She continues her journey atop
"Till we meet again" he takes the drop.

Your message flows with such a fierce rhythm, unfolding the message as if from a storm within you. How there are worlds in us, so much life that fights for our attention, fights to strengthen or weaken us in our resolve to live deep. So wondrous are your words!

Great juxtaposition and comparison of the emotions that so often we need sometimes simultaneously and sometimes not at all. Great job, love the style

Thanks Rosalie :) There is so much complexity and beauty in the things we don't notice daily.. So I try to put them into words if I can.. Thanks for appreciating the effort :)

An interesting write....personifying emotions of Fear and Bravery.

Your words are symbolic for how we all should live our daily lives; to stand steadfast in the face of Life's negatives, with courage and bravery and never, ever give in to fear and cowardice.

A very nice piece of writing. A little piece of wisdom for the masses.

Thanks for your kind words.. More than 'wisdom for the masses' it is little wisdom I learnt from the masses 😀
I am happy that the theme resonates! Thanks for reviewing :)
