A Bout with a Turmultuous Anxiety

Rising, confronted with the realization of another day…

snarling carnivore

clamping down the terror

breaking out

Seated, facing the light, a voice like my own saying, “Feel…”

unknotting

this inside tsunami

breathing

Calming, the last hurricaned heartbeat settling…

enemy mine

the call to again

ride the Dragon

Melissa Lemay calls on us to write pivotal moment poems over at dVerse for Tuesday Poetics.

    Sometimes is all we need is a moment of peace to be able to face the dragon again.

    I know that feeling, Frank, and breathing does help; I love the way you captured that in ‘the last hurricaned heartbeat’.
