My human remains

My human remains                                                                                     

On my quest, the question first I posed:
Is it possible to live without fear?

God deigned (at His own fateful pace)
to answer.  Your soul is fearless, said He. 

It’s made of God’s stuff.  I’m afraid
because I continue to believe deeply

(no matter my profession of faith)
in myself more than my Creator;

in mind and body more than immortal soul.
And my one recourse in annulling that fear   

is to turn away now as best I might
from my human remains

to my intrepid, God-centered soul
and await (without question) His unworldly grace.

O child of God, to live without fear
is to live like the God within you.
