Living in the Now

It was a quiet evening, the kind where the air feels like it’s carrying secrets. My teacher and I sat beneath a canopy of stars, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves. He always had this way of drawing out the questions buried deep within me, and tonight was no different.

Cowardice

Cowardice weaves its clever guise,
Creating shadows where it lies.
New ways to flee, new depths to hide,
Its dance, a maze where fears abide.

But bravery, plain and unrefined,
Knows no cunning, no clever mind.
It strides ahead, through dark or flame,
Unafraid, it stakes its claim.

One bends, one stands, their paths apart—
A timid mind, a fearless heart.
