Fear Nothing
Do not fear what will never be.
Nothing is impossible. Nothing.
Do not fear that you will not last.
Nothing will vanquish you. Nothing.
Do not fear your forgetfulness.
Do not fear your recollections.
Nothing worth keeping forever
will ever become a nothing.
Do not fear being afraid, but
do not fear. Fear nothing.

Excellent!

The repetition works so well here. It’s a very powerful piece.
I enjoyed the rhythmic repetition of the “Nothing” in the second line of the first two stanzas. Really nice rhythm.
Nice one Ron!!!
Much💜love
Beautifully done, Ron! ❤️❤️
Great job. I was with my dad today and he doesn’t remember anything anymore. He can’t understand why and he can’t understand what it is he is trying to remember. I just tell him not to worry, there is nothing he needs to worry about.
Amen 🙏. Nice job Ron
Wish I could stop worrying.
Well done, Ron. Fear holds us back, while fearlessly moving forward is what we strive for.
Great job of repetition. Well said!
Oh wise one ~~~ fear incapacitates even the strongest among us .. well done.
Fear is such a tricky one…natural, often needed but also disabling. I think you’ve summed it up well here.
The repetition drives home your point so well.
I love the repetition and the contradiction which tell us how irrational fear can be while still being perfectly rational (see there)
Such wise words!
The human condition, a wonderful poem on letting go of fear.
Late to the reading and the posting. Enjoyed this one and most especially these lines
“Nothing worth keeping forever
will ever become a nothing.”
So very true!
