Where fear is met with welcome
Mistake greeted as a faltering child
Where need, frightened by wanting
Craves desperately not to be reviled
But patiently feted, soothed and smiled
The poetry of giving is the path of mend
Which morphs the terror of fear-talk
Into speculation’s curious spirit-walk
As emotions talk instead of intend
Controlled feelings can only pretend
That hazard isn’t just around the bend
In order to protect the dearness of never fearness
Making scary remove and disappear
Taking it from the place it’s most needed
Where it can be well soothed and greeted
