Pace and Wait


Pace and Wait

            -i-
Anxiety paces the floor
footsteps ever echo
down darkened hallways
ever looking for light
            
            -ii-
Peace waits with me
thaws icy memories
walks with me
to the other side

           -iii-
Anxiety paces the floor
repressed buoyancy
always held under
can't catch a breath

            -iv-
Peace waits with me
pulls me above trauma
out of the riptide
to rest on freedoms shores

            -v-
Anxiety paces the floor
taut spring suppressed
overwound emotions
cortisol wreckage

            -vi-
Peace waits with me
volcanic emotive release
bears my burden
never forsaken

Poem 19-152z

The complexity of being human and trauma experienced. There is hope, peace, and healing. Matthew 11:28-30
