Anxiety
Returned to me.
Why?
We had an agreement,
You and I.
We worked it through, we made a deal, I figured you’d be gone.
But no.
Recognizing destination, path and plan ~ you came along.
WTH?
Habit? Memory? Trauma exacted long ago?
Irrelevant!
Damn you and be warned:
You’re unwelcome.
Your tricks and games, old news.
I’m movin’ on no matter how you coax and woo.
I don’t need you.
Get it?
GO.
I AM in control.
Tell me... How do you react to, banish, deal with anxiety?
Share what works, what doesn't, your thoughts on the topic.

After midnight…
I first thought, “The AC is acting up.”
Then, “Is a stranger outside my door?”
Finally I realized the sound was two toads
Near my window, making amour.
They were noisy!
Early the next morning…
'The Couple Swims'
A bit more on toads to follow…

“Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it.” ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox, American Author & Poet
~ ω ~
I’ll take my bitter
In the form of bitter herbs
Soothe me, treat me;
My distress, curb.
Chamomile, arugula, wormwood, mint.
Each a cure,
Sublimely sent.
In a drink, yes, I think
Bitter can be grand.
Salty gin, tonic, lime~
Never bland.
I’ll take my bitter with a little dash of sweet.
Combined with love and honey, a real treat.
Grapefruit, lemon, sour grape, wine.
Divine
But I won’t take your bitter, spewed and splattered all about.
If you so choose to live,
Then you
I’ll live without.
And love from a distance.

”I wake up every morning with a great desire to live joyfully.” ~ Anna Howard Shaw, American Physician & Suffragette
JOY
In this day,
Hour,
Moment,
JOY is attainable.
Retainable.
Yours to have, to hold.
Be BOLD!
Reach out. Take hold
Of Joy.
See it.
Believe it.
Seize it.
Breathe it.
Take it in. Send it out.
Receive it, replenish.
It is your right,
Obligation,
Fate.
Lacking joy?
STOP!
See. Believe. Seize. Breathe.
Repeat.
