conveyance of feeling

Overwhelmed and suffocating, yet finding joy in the small and precious moments.
Reaching for a lifesaver, wishing for a boat to remove me from all the madness.
Finding silence to be a healer--a vehicle for my mind to reach calmer waters.
Attained gratitude for what makes life worth living despite the constant havoc.
Saturated with friendship washing over me from near and far, surprising.

Hopeful against the odds. Smiling through the tears.
Loving and loved, continually striving.
