Settling Anxiety

              My eyes opened suddenly
  to a world of anxiety
         My legs thrashed   in bed
    My heart raced
                                         in my chest
           Something was missing
 Something was out of sorts

I said I love you to the storm
and let the words saturate the air

I give my love to no one
  I give it to everyone
   I give it to God if he is listening
    To every adversary who is seething
     Those who are indifferent
      Those who are in need of it
       Those who want to give theirs to me

My soul is now settled
And I am again filled with dreams
