I agree with the comments by Yassin and Pradip... indeed it's a brilliant short poem brother... an incredible apostrophe or a dramatic monologue...no matter, whether the addressee is present or absent from the scene, whether directly addressed or just imagined, but the work is dramatised in brief and intense moments, and intensity is heightened when fear is also added to be...shared! ...a marked write!

I keep fear. Hope not. When breath and dream are near, one can also keep fear away. Hope we can do that. Beautiful short poem. Nicely expressed. Thank you.

Keep your fear, its is okay but make it as motivation to go crossing this boundary....Muhammad Ali, one day we will tired of being chasing of this fears, and when the day come we wont run again we will face it...Smile, we are your companions to make you fear nothing but a soil for your dream to grow from its tiny seed form!

thanks Soul, for your kind words. mostly we smile, face and walk towards life, sometimes we hide.. I try to do so as you said, to do it from now :)

Brilliant work, Muhammad! That fear...so insidious. And it is so difficult to come to terms with. perhaps the reason for that may be that fear is often rooted in so many benign things, so many common things....like the belief one will confront loss. Perfect verse!

This is a master poem for teaching how to get the absolute most out of the fewest words. Not only that, it gives the reader something to think about and it is not just given to us on a silver platter- -we're going to have to participate in this poem, muse and contemplate and then contemplate again, Outstanding work. 10 and a place on my Fav List.

Brevity is the soul of wit. A terse piece that says a lot about relationships.
