Awake at night, the thoughts do creep,

Burdened heart, it longs for sleep.

Calm feels distant, a fleeting glow,

Drowning in doubts only I know.

Embrace the breath, a steady guide,

Focus inward, let fears subside.

Gentle whispers of hope begin,

Healing softly from within.

Intentions form, a path is laid,

Joy emerges, though fears cascade.

Kindness to self, a fragile art,

Lifting the weight from a weary heart.

Moments pass, each breath a key,

Navigating the storm to tranquility.

Open skies now replace the grey,

Peace unfolds, anxiety fades away.

Quiet strength grows, a seed takes root,

Resilience blooms, its tender shoot.

Steadfast spirit conquering might,

Taming the shadows, embracing the light.

Under the moon, the soul restores,

Victory whispers through open doors.

Waves of calm now ebb and flow,

Xanthic hues of dawn bestow.

Yearning fulfilled, the mind set free,

Zephyrs of peace, a sweet melody.

    It has been a while since I wrote any poetry. Thank you for sharing. How long did this take you to write? Was it a slog or did the muse just show up and roll it out for you?
