Conquer Fear Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Conquer Fear

Rating: 5.0


A big black stone
Was thrown
Into our home
It perched in our minds
In our hearts
Even in our very souls.

Our family is frozen
Like the black stone
But we clung to heavens above
And called all its angels
To lift the burden
That threatened
The sanctity of our home.

We poured all our energy
Solidified our courage
The conglomeration of
Family's strength
Produced the hardest
And strongest rock.

Today, the sun shines
In its brightest
And warmest
It melted the black stone
Even its black shadow.

The way the poem conveys fear symbolically through the black stone makes the piece beautiful. Fear feeds on itself, but it can't be removed or cut apart. It has to be conquered.
