Through the Motions

I am going through the motions In a fog all around - Chores, errands, work pursuits Yellow leaves are falling like confetti As my mind spins, twirling thoughts Trauma will do this - As it takes effort to focus on things I am going through the motions My heart is blowing in the wind Working on things until the next wave of tears Praying for healing, trying to absorb the shock Life can throw things like a straight on pitch! Hitting you at the plate, where you were grounded It is the way it is, so enjoy every precious moment - Before it is too late - Tell those you love, your love Give a smile to those who bring happiness Show gratitude for all that people give Laugh with them, put them first and unite We are different, but the same - we are equal!
