A fine stillness overtakes me
Balanced on the edge of a knife.

Emotional upheaval,
Physical longing,
Psychological unrest.
These are all fleeting things.

Moments.

Like a seed,
Hanging in the breeze.

Momentary bewilderment,
At being set free.
Then falling,
Gut wrenching,
Traumatic,
Exhilarating,
Joyful.

These things last but a second.

Stress,
Pain,
Joy,
Sorrow.

Fight through it and you'll see.

Stillness.
