Beside all the things

we need to catch in our lives

we need to catch ourselves 

Jacob found a stone
and laid himself down to sleep
in an act of faith

The three bouncing dots
are still there if you don't stare,
but less annoying

Angst - 1212

unfocused, human,

deep anxiety and dread,

worried about life

Even more-so now
mom is under the surface,
on this Mother's Day

Like turbulent seas
compared to tranquil ones
there's them and there's me

----------------------------------------

Life is a battle
between the thoughts in my head
and reality
