Light

The heart heaves; crippling and anxious

Threatening distortion of rhythm and measure

When fright knows no bounds, and panic no limit

Pulsating in stillness while fear wages war

Counting and recounting memories

Constriction and conflict

Where despair stands, casting shadows on reason

A future vague, lost in worry, imagined strife

Craving misplaced sanity

When inquiry happens upon a conscience

Reflection births remarkable reasoning

A mirror holds space for embattling query

While cycles of reaffirmations take flight

Renewed cadence

Internal syncopation

A shift

A surge

The fog lifts like morning dew.

No blurred lines.

Doubt fades for a path clear as daylight.

And a soul gyrates to the rhythm of its beat

Space emerges no longer bound by fear

Uncertainty, a distant memory

With glimmers of hope and precision in thought

Recommit to purpose with distinction.

Then clarity glistens through an aperture

And it is reborn.

Melodies lining streams of consciousness

It twinkles and dances to its own sweet song

The soul is reborn

It is at peace
