Drowning in my turbulent mind
I run for shelter from the rain
Peace is just outside my grasp
And solace impossible to find
Any certainty twists and turns
Winds of change blow gale force
Unsettling storm inside my head
Anxiety rains while serenity burns

And my mighty lion roars again. Anxiety rains while serenity burns — I know the feeling well, but now have the perfect words to come back to when I feel overwhelmed. Bravo, my friend.
This poem is a pretty good indication of where I have been lately. But is also a thank you to friends like you who help me along the way. You are most assuredly one of those hearts I set free in the last line. Set free to help me regain perspective. Now you know what I meant the other day when I commented “Thanks for all you do.”
I honestly just feel blessed that our lives intersected and we have each other — on the best and worst of days.
I couldn’t agree more. Blessed are we………..
Beautifully stated, familiar sentiments. Glad you have the hearts in your life to set free!
You happen to be one of them my friend. I draw true inspiration from our similar struggles, and your obvious talent with the written word.
I love this one! The raw emotions flowing so nicely in this poem.
Lots of love
Patty
Thanks Patty. I love that you love this. I appreciate the compliment
It is amazing how nature mimics our emotions so well.
Very true. Thanks my friend.
That place so awful to be. Hope and strength anew wished for you. x
