Against Anxiety


You go with the push

of irregular winds,

with sun a brilliance

and a sorrow,

with a drifting of old friends

and a sprouting of new.

 

You go beneath

the beckoning moon,

under the stoic moon,

below the amber moon

and the unfathomable sky.

 

The rhythm in your ears is the throb

and drum of other hearts,

the wax and wane of yours,

the hum of remix and renewal.

 

You go to dream the dreams of others

and to find that they dream yours,

and you and they are hope and loss

and joy and struggle and the next great step ahead.
