The mind uses

Clever considerations

Every breath

Feels its wrath

A memory

A notion

An alarming reminder:

–

Crossing the street

I noticed

Walking alongside friends

Double back

Wait

My mind responds

New anxiety

Sight

–

Highway moment

Thoughts again

Realized a situation

Process

Want to scream

I can

I’m in a car

Travel at speeds

Not as fast as my mind

–

Shocking truth

Simple reality

That life contains no

Mystery mystique memory

Only opportunity.

When I sit to question

What works why when

Rather than that this then

Indifferent to the sky

Same circle of loss

–

Tired and broken decided fatigue,

Whisper new horizons exist;

A dove sings only momentarily

To make allowances for change

For in the mind reactions may

Remind ourselves we will respond

–

A new day, a new synapse; endorphin heaven
