Finding My Way

On By Piano girl

The feeling of being
Lost-alone-not sure
Which way to go
Is most unpleasant
I remember being
Separated from
My mom once in
The grocery store
A few minutes
Felt like a
Frightening
Eternity-
Other times
I absolutely
Was not lost
Knew right where
I was headed
And yet, that same
Feeling from
The grocery store
Seemed to creep in
Completely
Engulfing me
Perhaps it was that
Still, small voice saying-
It’s ok to change course
Go an unfamiliar way
Yes, it might be a
Little scary at first
But possibilities
In newness
Are endless

This coming June will mark three years since my first blog post. The idea of putting my thoughts out there for anyone to see was a little frightening. I’m glad that fear didn’t stop me.

I continue to be amazed at the connections created with people from all parts of the world. And even though different from close friends and family, they brighten my world just the same.

June also brings the release of my first poetry collection. I am still pinching myself. Thanks to River Dixon of https://thestoriesinbetween.com/ and Potter’s Grove Press, it really is happening! Not available for order yet, but for info about the book, check out the following link.

  6. I had these exact same feelings as a child which developed into severe panic attacks as I got older. Luckily, I got help.
    Thanks for going to my website and liking my post or I would probably never have found you. Thank you for your words. Congrats on publishing a poetry book! My next dream.

      1. Thanks, wish someone would buy it for an alphabet book. Oh well, I do it for the joy (used to teach K-1 in LA). How did you get to my website? This my the first post in about 4 years….just curious.
