Being Without

Blinded by thoughts, hoping
they lay in the past
instead, choking back the moments
that once prevented movement,
holding feet to the ground,
fragments all around
to shatter the day's whispers
telling me the heart beats to live.

kasey191,  welcome... I am having an anxiety(attack) day and if you have ever had one
(which I hope you never do) thoughts jumble and you can't do what you set out to do. Your feet stay put when you know you need to move on to whatever is waiting for you, whether it's a chore, bill paying, a job, basic normal every day activities.

Your heart is beating so fast you can feel the pounding and your sensitivities are stronger than usual. You have to force yourself to "live".

It's one of those days for me when I feel I am not in control.

Thank you

"C", I understand that totally thanks

Donna, I know you know that there are days   that the past can choke the "now" out of you, making you wish you could just stay in bed until the day is over. Thanks

M

Whisper,
Lost in the sounds,
Shattering
If any quiet might be found,
Thoughts of today
Yesterday and the possible
Which often once was the impossible,
Battering
Thoughts that might be just a whisper
Away

"telling me the heart beats to live"

Some days you will wonder, and other days you will know it is true.

Christopher W Herbert

Listening to the Wind
18 August 2007

Tell me the heart beats to live.
Some days you will wonder,
and other days you will know it is true.
Three words, - “I love you”

Tell me the truth,
would love ever bound.
A world, a global unity,
to seek, to find, found.

Tell me, just tell me,
is gold a symbol of wealth.
Or was the precious things,
to live a life, hold fast in good health.

To die a pauper, and live to know love,
eyes of tiredness, a good deed.
The hunger of a book,
passion, a feeling in need.

a brief but grand-fine 'write'!

[that (sadly) 'speaks my life' as well!]

[perhaps one has to dodge those 'outrageous
  slings and arrows of (anti-)fortune' many
   times to totally understand this one?!]

serious, sustained applause!!
