my mind
gets away from me
at times
too many
thoughts
fears
anxieties
race full throttle

when it gets to be
too much
i feel myself
crumbling
under the weight
of my own
doubts

i see a heron

today
as i was driving
my head screaming
i looked up
saw it gliding
effortlessly
across the sky
majestic
with no concern

today
i shall endeavor
to be the heron

today i shall soar
