There is tension in my body;

teeth are set on edge,

This is how my body holds stress,

carrying this heavy weight,

That I’m not even aware of

Until I feel it manifest:

This pressure;

Unrecognized burdens

Are weighing

And wearing

Down bone and sinew,

And I have nothing

but

to pray,

Soul laid bare,

My spirit needing release

A vent for so much pressure,

I am at times forgetful of this force in and around

That thus allows me space for relief,

Spirit!

Here I lay down this weight,

This anxious mind,

Into your enveloping grace.
