Caught and Released

Caught in an inner narrative

of anger, hurt

and fear, I left

the here and now

and entered if and then, losing

touch with simply

is. I stayed in

that nowhere place

until I somehow found my way

back with ” May I

be well.  May you

and all be well.”

    Joan: I really “feel” this poem – because I have lived it. It describes, for me, the path negative emotion takes us on especially leaving “the here and now,” entering “if and then.” and the “nowhere place.” The conclusion, like the resolution – of discomfort brings/feeds peace. Thanks. Cheryl.
