The prompt at dVerse Poets Pub today is to write using antithesis. Bjorn asks us to use contrasting terms to encompass the real truth of the matter as we live in a world both black and white at the same time. As the topic of fear and courage have been much on my mind lately, I immediately thought of the antithesis of feeling fear while having faith. This is how we can be courageous.
Courageous
The giants tower above me
menacing and cruel
I tremble in faith
Stand resolutely with fear
The waves crash down upon me
mighty and powerful
I shudder in faith
Rise unflinchingly with fear
The enemy surrounds me
threatening and heartless
I cringe in faith
Prevail triumphantly with fear
