Anxiety is like a flash flood. You’re standing in the most glorious sunshine, unaware of the rain falling high up in the mountains. Far away. You’re going about your day. Trying to stay in your gratitude for the beauty around you. And then..BAM!! Out of seemingly nowhere a rushing torrent sweeps you off of the safety you were standing in. It swells around you. Threatening. Ominous. It rips your peace away like tree roots. Until everything around you becomes a swirling mass of debris. No sight of your safe place. When it dissipates you’re left in the mud.

She dreams of the desert Of its dangerous beauty The unknown He dreams of the desert He knows the safety it holds for him His long time only friend She calls to them both For very specific reasons Seasons Of their lives are different But the desire is the same The desert is a mermaid With a sweet siren song What you make of her Becomes your fate Once you’ve answered her call
Took a Greyhound bus to my love Waiting for me in Texas In a necklace Story of a nexus That grew into love A love that connects us Across state lines Swamp to the desert One leads to the other Landscapes fade and change Wide open range Leaving plenty of space to fill with love Daydreams Of real things That keep us intertwined Took a Greyhound bus to my love So I could dream the whole way Of the way She makes me feel Smiles on my face for real Green eyes sparkling through the night Holding my baby tight Wheels on the road Turning round and round Like the feels in my heart Hitting like a dart Pulling up on the target Of my affection No question It’s been worth the whole ride
