Restless mind:
Never still,
Always seeking the next big thing.
Take the light of future’s dawn
And you take my life.
For there’s no living
Without the air time brings my lungs;
I swim or die
And silent stillness laughs
To think I’ll ever reach her.
Restless Mind

Thanks for the encouragement Dawn. It is always important to stay positive, even with the parts of our life we are not always happy with.

Yes, she is still laughing, but one day I’ll catch her!

It seems we are likeminded spirits, ever seeking the peace that comes and goes
