Bound Up
1/4/10
It doesn't take much lately
to recognize I'm off balance,
feeling it in body joints,
hips, back, neck, and muscles,
contrasting my usual easy flexibility
that runs high physical energy,
and because of interconnected nature
mind, spirit, emotions are effected,
becoming angry from myriad thoughts
which cloak brilliance of soul,
taking on 'pressure cooker' qualities
sensing freedom is being obstructed
whenever I'm less than optimal,
call me sensitive in comparison
while imagining others endure more
with grace and sheer will,
contrary to angst that arises
when I'm discontented with life
bound up by own doing.
