Dreams are the only thing that I fear.

An open wound washes clean, and dreams are the only thing that I fear.
I walk the shadow of a man. I am silent, he hears not my approach.
I quicken upon him, he turns blind to my approach.
He screams, I am mute.
He arches back, I remain still.
(The sea consumes me, I remain still.)
He kneels, I am patient.
The moon teeters on his cries, crumbles inward, folds into a small flower; he is alone.
To the failed and failing heart beat, to the escalation of his breath, man knows fear, and is afraid.

Very interesting, I've never nessecarily gotten the quote "the greatest fear is fear itself". While I'm not fearless, there isn't really a lot that scares me, dreams I suppose are another story moreso nightmares, that have any effect whatsoever on my train of thought. It seems they sometimes play mind games. None the less, I think I am a bit confused by the poem lol sorry if my comment reflected that, but great write. Hope to see more.
