    Epiphany

    The self defeating logic of anxiety is to make me believe the only way to keep myself safe is for me to never feel self. How absurd, how astonishing, That this fierce storm is only a thought. A ghost I create and...

    • Anxiety is such a beast. Like the snake trying to swallow its own tail. Very solid piece here

    • Our minds can take us on a wild ride and it’s out decision to do so. The unknown will often intrude and fall on us like rain. It’s the not knowing of something and fearing the outcome that gets us.

    • Oothat SOB can be a soul snatcher!.
      I know and feel you deeply, sigh. ❤️

    Tread Lightly

    Reading the room reveals a clue It takes concentration to observe  Ghosts of the past in the rearview Another deadman found his nerve   Once inside it’s difficult to leave Too many loose ends unravel lies Can’t get dirty and remain naive Tactical spider still collecting flies   Planting...

    • I think about the consequences of opening my mouth & weigh them against the burden of saying nothing. If it has the potential to hurt someone, I keep it locked in the Nope folder. There’s a lot of insight in this one. That cautionary note…think before you speak…is never out of date, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I always try to think before I speak. Sometimes that means biting my tongue, I like to choose the hills I’m willing to die on. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

    • Learning to “read the room” is such a great line, and your last is filled with wisdom. We live and we learn as we go learning from our past mistakes and learning from others.

      Great poem.

    The Drifter

    I've always been a drifterfor as long as I can remember. I've never had the drive to chase dreams, and rarely even had any dreams to begin with. I never chased love, or a mortgage, or children. Somehow, I just...

    • I have a collection of driftwood here with me. Because I couldn’t get over the beauty of something untethered just floating along, becoming weather & all the more beautiful for its age & travels. This one made me smile
