Trepidation

Fear rocks my core

And I look to you for stability

I want to link my pinky with yours

And breathe slowly

 

Your soft voice is

All I have now

So, I listen with care

Careful not to tune out

 

Fear rocks my core

Your meticulous ways

Cradle my fear

Even though you are not near

 

You see me before I see myself

You take me on paths

I am too scared to journey on

Holding me steady as I find my way

 

I am grounded in your truth

Relieved by your honesty

Responsive to your positivity

Fear released every time we connect

 

Fear rocks my core

But you heal my soul

For you, I am ever grateful

As my fear soothes and slows

Sea breeze clears my mind as the waves washes the tension away. Belize my native land that breathes creativity and uniqueness with every ray of sunshine. Written words my way of standing up and speaking out.

    This is a great piece about finding your peace and stability in troubling times. The part about the other seeing you before you see yourself is fundamentally overlooked in times of great stress or doubt. Thank you for putting in written word so others can see and adopt it as their norm.
