The Pendulum of My Soul
New surroundings breathing life into me,
My lungs fill with cool air, it’s sustaining,
Inhale, exhale… each breath: stress waning.
Blood transporting excitement toward an apogee.
Continuing to pump, this heart of mine,
With each beat powering this internal clock,
Sixty beats-per-minute, sounds of tick-tock,
Time slows down establishing new baseline.
Swinging from a new equilibrium position,
My emotional pendulum keeps the pace,
Balancing the new way of life I embrace,
Preventing my mind splitting from social fission.
Each moment an opportunity for refreshed soul,
Taking it slow and breathing it all in carefully,
Every breath, filling these lungs heartily,
To live a full life each minute; my new goal.
