Rising up within the calm
Catching me off guard

A morning meditation

August 18, 2017 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Contentment pulls
Me back to slumber
Despair’s grip
Weakens

Anxiety lurks
Waiting to
Wreck havoc

Early Morning Anxieties 

August 14, 2017August 15, 2017 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Fear….anxieties
Like to rise up
Inhibiting my rest 


My mind often wakes me with silly fears or concerns. I learned, ages ago, that the best thing I can do is wake, add them to my workflow. My brain then knows that I won’t forget.

Now I sit, awake

Afraid of what I forgot
