Afraid

I am not afraid of much
Except of falling short
Of failing

Trying to swim
But flailing 
Trying to fly 
And falling
Trying to run
And tripping
Trying to see
In the dark
Trying to hear 
In the din
Trying to breathe
In the reek
Trying to feel
And thinking.

Trying is thinking
Thinking is trying.

Loving you requires
No thought 
No effort
Not thoughtless
Not effortless

To be afraid
To fear to fail
Brain over heart
But To no avail
This heart is true
It will not fail.
