Finding Relief From Stress, Poetry

The world moves swiftly as life 
evolves, stress, anxiety
upset, distraction and strife
finding relief from stress
essential
~
Stepping away, releasing
internal tension, uncontrolled
setting free anxieties
feel human, once foretold
~
Tears of sadness swept away
imagine lofty mountains high
breathtaking 'neath sunset skies
hold onto the splendour...
enjoy the ride
~
Feel the joy of loved ones near
embracing their gift of love
thankful, climb that mountain of fear
warmth eternal cast from above
~
Hear eagles fly, a passion within
their songnotes soar, releaving
wings carry them lofty heights, then
release as your heart believing
