When I sit alone...
I am anxious. I don't know why. I want and need but am not sure what for. Is it her touch? Is it the laughter of my children? Is it contentment? Is it dirstraction? I don't know.
There are of course times of crystal clarity but I speak not of those times but of the others that seem to haunt me. "Haunt" being a relative word used for description as at times my anxiousness is fun and fancy, but other times it is not.
Sometimes, my mind plays with me. It wants for me yet denies me. It shows me what is real yet teases me with what isn't there. My mind conjures images of perfection yet reminds me of despair.
I am stable, adjusted, and comfortable. I have seen the raw, the bad, the good, and the honest. I have experienced it all. Nothing shocks me any more.
I can taste love on my tongue. I know it's wonderful silky texture and it feeds my soul. So why do I sometimes find myself retreating into my thoughts? I don't know why. Sinking into myself and not always wanting to know why. Like a bird on a perch I sometimes just sit and do nothing more. Quiet and contempt.
Yet at other times, the anxiety rages and speaks to me. It demands attention and I know not why. I haven't the drink the quinch it's thirst. And then I think of her. She who knows me and understands. She who has seen me through the brutal times and always gave her love.
The plumbing needs fixed, the truck repaired, the laundry needs doing, and my boss is pressuring me.
Memories of things I'd rather not remember come slowly seeping in like tiny feelers from an established root. I cannot rid myself of the root, and at times I fight the feelers. So I must learn to build around it.
Anxious. Anxiety. Fear without reason. Tension. Sometimes I am angry she isn't there when I need her to be, even though she can't be. And like a snared cat I claw at her. But she sees it and cares for me. She reacts sternly or quietly. It just depends. She reminds me who I am and what I am.
She makes me whole again.
I sit alone. But soon she will be here to make it all right and comprehendable again.
