same sky

I look out at the sunset
the lines running across the sky
I close my eyes
I sigh
I think my God for reminders

how many sunsets have I seen in this place?
some with tears, and others with a smile on my face
and still the sun set
the day ended
and a new day began

slipping

there is beauty in the world 

when you know you have a good friend 

but “there is nothing more terrifying than kindness 

that you believe may come to an end”

anxiety repair

anxiety can come to rock you
deep in your chest
with "what if.. and what if just..."
What if no!
and What if yes?!

you want it clear like black and white
you want it paved and "there you are"
it can feel like a balance beam
when the places to go seem so far
