This grey sky
This rain that falls
It catches my mind and my heart
And stirs something within
I can feel the raindrops
On my skin
In my soul
It brings a feeling of sadness
And yet, a beautiful serenity
My heart may be down
But it’s face up taking in the rain as well
With closed eyes and open feelings
It takes me away from it all
No sun to drain my body
No heat to burn my skin
Just a sky above
A blanket of clouds
And a light rain
Maybe even a low wind
All wrapped in grey
Somehow a grey can be so inspiring
The rain washes out everything within
This heavy-colored head
And only leaves what is necessary
To turn raindrops
Into sad yet beautiful thoughts

Arrested by Necessity
Do you have a favorite place to visit when you're overwhelmed by your thoughts? Do you get overwhelmed by your thoughts? I suppose not everyone experiences the paralyzation that occurs when too many decisions creep in. I get knots in my (ample) stomach that twist and turn into cramps. Within minutes, my pulse increases and I force myself to remain calm, but anxiety starts poking at my chest like a toddler attempting to wake his papa for a snack. The cause of my tension is lost by this time, and my focus turns to slowing my breathing, "staying present in the moment," and remembering where I am and why.
