Turning

Fear is the dream-killer
 the time-slayer
  the hope-drowning enemy
   of all our goals and aspirations

I won’t blame my trials on
 circumstance, on
  weakness, or my
   peers …
    they’re squarely seen on the doorstep
     of dark despair, fear and hate …
      steps away from fate …

       Turn away from fate to

Hope, the dream-bringer
 the soul-lifter
  the faith-filling seed that grows
   steadily into the might tree
    one might call destiny
