You Must Cease - Kathleen Kraemer

[Larry Robinson]

You Must Cease
gratitude to Alice Walker for “to Change the World Enough”… and for her lines “you must cease to be afraid” and “fresh… high place”, “to change the world” which inspired
 
 
You must cease to be afraid
or your life will stay small and trembling
and what you have to give
will shrivel and finally be
as if it never was.
To truly live,
to live your part that the mystery needs
in order to change the world,
you must enlarge your heart
to its definition of courage.
You must hold hands with your trembling child
and walk together with every hand
every size and shape and color 
every hand of our one human race 
towards the fresh high place
where we all belong
and where the light there 
makes us all see
and all be bravely known
