First Line: Daring to do, we invade

Subject(s): Life
Daring to do, we invade
our individual Cave of Terror
to force our little fancies
along the ledge of life.
In the flame of faith -- icicles of fear
frozen to our fingers
from the cold drip of logic
become shining stalactite
hung from a vault of hope.
The warmth of our magic light
melts the chill wall of caution.
Unafraid, we breathe
the crystal breath of courage.
The battle of doubting bats is done --
we dare to pursue the phobias of itme!
