Lock and Key
Dreadlocks in the gut.
Fear has its way with us
and that’s what’s frightening.
Deadlocks in the mind,
lest we step in the grave
where no one rests in peace.
Wedlock in the heart –
unexpected gifts are the end
and the beginning of everything.

It is all about love, for sure, Mike! Really like this poem!
Good transitioning on the lock words.
I love the way you broke this piece up in its stanzas, it works great with the flow and imagery of it!
