Oscillations

Oscillations

between skitter scratching anxiety

And deep calmness

 

Incredible frustration

And satiation

 

Despair

Relief

 

Stasis shackled

I wait

Wait

Wait

 

Emotions compressed

By anticipation and fears

Heightened by faith

 

The cage doors are all open

The lions have all fled

My demons have left the building

Driven off by promises

Of the release that lies ahead

    Thanks Seb. I almost stopped but got hit with empty cage image. Glad you liked it.
