Downpour: Embracing the Storm

Jumping jitters,
Restlessness flickers,
Up from nowhere,
The source is unclear.

Slammed like a wave,
Pushed and pulled,
Seething and spilling,
An ocean in a tizzy,

Even if I keep busy,
The storm overtakes,
Roaring and shouting,
Slapping and rolling;

Where is this going?
Tried stretching
And exercising
And writing

But just can’t
Seem to get my footing,
Struggling with unsatisfactoryness and pain,
Overcoming me again

But I fight back
By giving in,
Immersing in the dance
And by doing so gain mastery,

Embodying this energy,
Thoroughly making a snack and eating it,
Completely washing the dishes,
Being fully present in it,

Now vitality is in command,
Vigorously flowing,
Energizing instead of frightening,
Motivating rather than paralyzing.
