Stood on the edge of fear.




Stood alone and proud..
head raised to meet the
world head on..strongly
striding in straight steps
he walks..into the unknown
..the previously unobtainable
Eyes alert..sharp focus..all
seeing
lips forming silent words
of encouragement..whisper
their soft prayer for success
clenched fists..flex fingers
in agitation..swift appraisal
..approval..acceptance..
confidence radiates the
countenance of the smooth
plain of the once worried
face..as the gentle smile
turns the edges of fear
into a distant memory.*\

    Very trong and deep poem. I love the descriptions you gave, the like the lines:

    he walks..into the unknown
    ..the previously unobtainable

    You really get the feeling of the character. Great job!!

    Hi, I can relate to this, we all have fears .I like the " lips forming silent whispers of encouragement " we all do that , perhaps the worst fear is the fear of fear ? A positive poem .

    This is so strong and dominate. Your words are vibrant and they just roll off the tongue. No stopping the force that is behind these words. They come out loud and clear all the way to the last word "MEMORY"
    I really loved this write. Nice job!!!
    Smiles your way >>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sandy San-d
