Where It Begins
A poem about the first image carried by fear.
Fear begins
with a hallway without light,
with fast breath,
and the ordinary hour
leaning closer
to listen.
In the room before courage,
it shrank when spoken to kindly.
- Mira Vale

A Trace
A quieter poem about recognizing fear in a small detail.
I found a trace of fear
inside shadows learning names,
small enough
to miss,
strong enough
to change the room.
No one had to announce it.
The heart understood.

Steadier
A reflective poem about what remains after thinking about fear.
After the word fear,
the day did not become simple.
It only grew honest,
clear at the edges,
carrying its weather
with a steadier hand.
