      Dissolving Anxiety

      A poem by Aloha Jacqueline

      · poetry

      As the world gets increasingly

      Overwhelming

      Radical

      Polarized

      Tense

      Frightening 

      The future sounding scary

      and fears of death

      Destruction

      Rising, rising, rising

      I find myself at times getting sucked 

      into spirals and darkness

      Heavy thoughts and feelings

      Until I change the focus 

      From me and my pain 

      My happiness, survival, comfort, purpose

      From worrying about my loved ones

      To those around me

      Who are truly struggling

      Suffering right now

      Even to eat

      And even though I am no longer religious

      This bible verse comes to mind

      "Whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."

      And the more I actually do that

      Beyond mental ideas

      Beyond beliefs

      Beyond trying

      The anxiety melts away in the doing.

      And what remains is

      Growing Freedom

      Growing Joy

      Growing Love

      Growing Hope.
