As Light as My Shadow
Location
When I am weary and tired of worrying,
I take a look at my phone and see what
new vine is spreading.
I distract myself from a heart
beating too fast
and a mind reading too quick
oh stop -
just breathe I tell myself.
When the socks aren't folded
and the laptop is left out,
my check isn't deposited and
the dogs have to be walked,
I stare at the mountains and the warm
city lights, reminding me that this is
all so real.
I try to stop but I can't -
oh my thoughts are racing.
Maybe a ticket for thought speeding
will slow my burdens and problems
down.
The light will be switched on in my
heart.
Like the flick of a switch in my living room area,
my brain will remember
all is well and don't worry.
The sun will still rise and your
heart will still beat,
Flowers will be picked and there
are candies to eat.
Sweet smiles I can do,
and giggles I can expose
to the God all knowing
who sees all my heart's prose.
