I Wish That You Were Here! Poem by Margaret Alice

A wise man said: Don’t fear anything –
because the only thing that can bring
negative events into your experience
is Fear itself; when you don’t fear; it
stands to reason; you will safe against
everything! - I’m working on that principle
when I ignore these sounds outside –
like someone knocking on the gate –
insistently; but apparently, as long as
I don’t fear, nor wish that person ill,
God knows, I don’t; we are safe; nothing
can happen to us; but God also knows –
I wish that you were here!
