Frailty

..the soul is searching for..

Fear we have..

For not being aware..

Of those things that are concealed.

It is the unknowns that haunt our curiosity

And that sap away our emotional vitality.

  We must guard our frailty because the sadness of this world is contagious.

Your poem speaks truth.
Well worded. You conveyed a complex idea in very few words.
Excellent.
The ending line seemed a bit separated from the theme of the piece, but it was beautifully written so no worries.

There is the sense that the world can overwhelm us.. overcome us, if we are not cautious... We are mingled with courage and cowardice... "in face a lion.. in heart a dear..." You written a profound warning...

Wow. Great ending to a short, power-packed, and much thought-provoking little poem. Good job! Suddenly I feel frail....
