Fear

Consuming Nature

By Nicholas GoodmanPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

What if fear consumed the hearts of nature?

Plants afraid to stretch towards the sun for fear they might get trampled

Bushes worried about bearing fruit for fear it might get eaten

Bunnies afraid to forage for fear they might get beaten

Flowers afraid to pollinate for fear their seeds wont proliferate

The sun

So scared to shine its light of divine love that it hides inside itself

For fear another will take its place

This reality would not survive

For things to thrive they must push themselves forward

Risking death in order to live

What if fear consumed the hearts of humans?

We would suffer indefinitely
