The world spins fast, a frantic, urgent hum,
Where worries gather, till the senses numb.
A tightening knot, a whisper in the ear,
Each racing thought, a rising tide of fear.
The mind a stage, where hurried actors tread,
Unrest unfurling, silently ahead.
But then, a pause, a breath deliberately deep,
A silent promise, secrets it will keep.
A conscious choice to turn the inner gaze,
Away from clamor, through the mental maze.
To seek the stillness, where the currents cease,
And find the pathway to a gentle peace.
The frantic drumbeat softens, note by note,
As anchors drop, and restless spirits float.
The tangled threads begin to yield and ease,
Like wind-swept branches yielding to the breeze.
Feel tension slacken, muscles gently yield,
A quiet strength, now cautiously revealed.
The noise recedes, a distant, fading sound,
As solid quiet settles all around.
A spacious calm, where thoughts can softly land,
A peaceful harbor, built on shifting sand.
The hurried pulse, now steady, soft, and low,
A gentle current, where fresh waters flow.
Here in this hush, clarity takes hold,
A fragile quiet, worth more than fine gold.
The weighty cloak lifts, burdens gently cease,
In the sweet solitude of inner peace.
The art of slowing, letting worries fade,
A tranquil haven, purposefully made.

I’ve given the description of stress, illustrated with numerous images and metaphors. Very nicely written it evokes a sense of stimulation and even overstimulation. The last bit leaves me feeling as though the way to resolve stress is to focus upon quieter thoughts and this is one good strategy. It sounds as though it works and it’s useful and anything that is productive is good. Very nice.
I appreciate your visit and the time you dedicated to reading my poem, Sorenbarrett. To be frank, however, I was struggling with stress while writing it, and consequently, I conveyed my emotions; this was certainly a very demanding poem for me to write at the moment.
You are most welcome and the work speaks for itself.
Simply lovely!
