Azure skies reflect in crystal waters, flanked by green grasses, and what were once the vibrant colors of the leaves. They’re faded now, turned to brown, but the colors still remain vivid in my eyes. Here is where I find a sense of peacefulness, a calm like no other, reaching through to my soul, a serenity in nature, held captive on this Earth. I walk softly, for fear I’ll disturb the silence that breathes here.

Stopping, I find myself sitting down on the banks, under the trees, feeling the cool breezes of the near-ending season, and I take note that winter is fast approaching, pulling the collar of my sweater closer to my face. How I wish I could bottle this incredible feeling. But alas, I cannot, so I must make good with the time she remains with me, and patiently wait for her to return from her lengthy respite.

And I shall remain here, long into the day, soaking in her beauty, for I do not yet wish to bid autumn adieu…

The Darkness is My Hope ~ #poetry

Dedicated to all who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks.  I feel your pain…


My body shivers, at times, it quakes

Hour upon hour, never ending

I think, this must be a grave mistake

And life plays its game, quite offending

I try to be calm, breath in and out

But nothing is working for me

All I really want to do is to shout

Allowing the darkness to break free

But the darkness is my only hope

It comforts me, right to my core

Helping me find the right way to cope

When I’m wondering, what it’s all for
