so it feels
when I tumble down the rabbit hole of my mind -
an endless gray envelops the day
clouds blanket the sky,
suffocating the sun
as I drown in my thoughts

but soon –
vibrant rays of color and light burst forth,
warming my soul
melting my anxieties
reawakening my senses -
reminding me of the flavors of life

and once again -
I dabble in life’s small delights,
dancing in its wonder
with my heart ready to smile love
