I come now from those foreign places <br />Unknown to those with hidden faces <br />Bedecked and different, for them to leer <br />As one unknown, something to fear <br /> <br />Am I not I that you can see? <br />What is the fear you see in me? <br />This faceless one, that makes you quake <br />I hold no fear its what you make <br /> <br />Deceive yourself if that you may <br />And cringe from that which spells decay <br />I hold no terrors in these hands <br />I am but a vessel to unknown lands <br /> <br />There is nothing to fear but fear itself <br />Of what, the memory of love or wealth <br />You will take my hand, make no mistake <br />A new life starts as you awake.<br /><br />Graham Jones<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fear-of-the-unknown/
