Captured in the moment are the anxious.

Trying in vain to overcome a peril,

A society out of control, no longer together.

Everything we believe is confusion.

If when we wake we wrap ourselves in

The daily news, we will struggle.

How difficult it can be to understand

The weight, an indecisive leadership.

Every morning a newer headline, but

Remains the same, abhorrent truth.

When can we step away and take a breath,

To let our lives find some stable relief.

Our heart is interacting with instability,

We are a vulnerable lot, sadly unaware

Of how we might right our ship of fear,

Could we become whole, loving and kind.
