Dissolving Anxiety
Poetry for the Soul
As the world gets increasingly Overwhelming Radical Polarized Tense Frightening The future sounding scary and fears of death Destruction Rising, rising, rising. I find myself at times getting sucked Into spirals and darkness Heavy thoughts and feelings Until I change the focus From me and my pain My happiness, survival, comfort, purpose From worrying about my loved ones To those around me Who are truly struggling Suffering right now Even to eat And even though I am no longer religious This bible verse comes to mind "Whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." And the more I actually do that Beyond mental ideas Beyond beliefs Beyond trying The anxiety melts away in the doing. And what remains is Growing Freedom Growing Joy Growing Love Growing Hope.
