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

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