In My Heart
you live in my heart
my heart that beats 86,400 times a day
and with each beat of my heart
the resonance of your memory pulses
pulses through me to share love
to touch other's hearts
so they too can feel your love that is still alive
I hear you in the wind
I feel you in the rain
I see you in the clouds and in the stars
you are with me in every breath

Panic
when dread of the unknown gets a grip and panic washes over:
scared
stomach tightens
whole body tenses
anxiety heightens
breathing shallow
difficult to take a deep breath
start to panic
breathing faster
can’t get out of my skin
no escaping
thoughts of doom and shame
all sense of self-esteem
and confidence shrinking and withering
finally catch one deeper breath
trying to slow my mind
another deeper breath
the panic wave starts to recede
body is beginning to release its rigor
sleep beckons
