they seem unconnected but are
really tied to a picture
I'm not big enough to see
can't keep track of the madness
in each moment I am composed
but inside, reeling
be careful what you wish for
how damaging it can be
nails sink into flesh
trying to control the outcome
but chaos always wins
to see myself so differently
those placid eyes caught in momentary sanity
I know how to play the part
keep the boat from rocking
and put one foot in front of the other

Great vision in your poem and excellent metaphor quoting Psalm. Thank you for sharing your work.
This is a fabulously beautiful image of an incredibly beautiful woman.
