Turmoil breeds entrenchment

I pray and meditate 
Tribulations would fade 
I stop and hesitate 
Mood swings please elevate 

I swim and exercise 
Intrusive thoughts stab 
I stop and hesitate 
Self-will rises with a jab 

I connect and disconnect 
Cognitive dissonance hovering 
I stop and hesitate 

Resilience breeds recovering

 

I inhale and exhale

Radical gratitude remains

I stop and hesitate

God’s light prevails

This is a very unique style of writing, like nothing else I’ve seen. It’s clear you enjoy playing with words & combining them in novel ways, putting together a thought-provoking flow of ideas. Good job of choosing dynamic verbs in contrasting pairs. Even tho I enjoy a cerebral message like this, I also seem to be missing more of a sensory development – it’s all in the head, which is OK, but not as memorable to me as a poem with more imagery (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
