solitude

the sky sweeps treetops
memory anchors in grief
as birds praise morning

The Anxiety Quintet

+

anxious

my thoughts are obscure
I ignore my own advice
I don't want to be

+

fear

afraid all the time
every breath and step is scared
I don’t trust myself

+

anxious

thoughts are still running
through my dreams and my daylight
not letting me in

+

sleepless

alone in my bed
restless sadness deep inside
and the dark remains

+

anxious

I see myself stand
shouting at my thoughts to stop
but they can't sit still

+

bluebonnets

bowed slightly from rain
seem deep in prayer for sunlight
early this morning

alone

this song won't talk back
so easy to sing along
headstrong harmony

blank

about to give up
when a word opens itself
and I follow it

music

the sound of the sea
will constantly be changing
with vibrant noises

pensive

burdens fall off dreams
allowing us to fly blind
through the storm filled sky
