What is this feeling
Of new possibilities But bone beep relief Lightness of being Happiness A new ease in step Ability to look at the sky Not to escape but To look for new vistas What is this feeling Of a new start New beginning Doors opening My choice to open or not Contentment and challenge Striving higher while Stepping back Using skills to help another To step into my shoes This is joy indeed

The beast lies in wait
I unaware bumble on Careless about myself Heedless of harm I feel untouchable Invincible Blessed He waits until late In the day Past his usual hour To strike I am sure that I am safe I take risks unworried At six pm he hammers me down Claws at my head Eye Forehead Neck And locks me In his grip of pain How foolish I was Wrapped up in blue
space and emptiness quiet hue muted tones calm a balm relieves stress brought by chaos here all is breathing easily soft edges I can hear my mind a muted version not shouting not scared or urgent slowed new noises or no noises all is new all is blue tonight Trapped in a grid
Cars everywhere Not even crawling I squeeze in sideways Slip through alleys End up locked in again I try one two three ways End jammed in a parking lot Unreal Then the pain hits Sudden and full on Is it fear or urgency That has me running for Anything that can help Reinforced I try again Figure out a way Escape from the maze This time it works Escape the trap Escape the pain This time What face do I show you today
Can you see behind it See my thoughts Judgments I keep my face still No eye roll no lip curl Can betray what Goes on inside Measured words Come out Calculated to produce Desired effect They say I am Masterful a leader This mask this pretense What if they knew My thoughts Would they think Me so fine then |
