"It came to pass."
(Appears 727 times in the King James Version of the Bible)
Anxiety is newly alive in my physiology,
Beating my heart,
Gulping my throat,
Tensing my muscles.
And much as I'd like it to depart,
It seems to have a will of its own,
So the best I can seem to do these days is to
Let it be there
And stop hating it, fighting it, fearing it, fueling it...
It's just a feeling-
A reeling feeling that comes
And comes
And comes,
And then,
quietly,
goes...
Until it comes again.
I take the dips and flips in stride.
