My breathing shallow,
like I am drowing in fear
counting slow gives hope.

So can I, anxiety can be hidden.

Penetrating verse, Diana, its staccato beat mimics the “shallow” breath and the “counting slow” that releases hope.🩵

Thank you for your post. Many of us worry about things we can not control or we are limited in what we can do. I hope find encouragement just as I have in the following passage… Matthew 6:34 So never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles.
