Moments

Moments… of fear, sadness, uncertainty.

Thoughts that come and go in waves, but somehow always find their way back.

Glimpses of the shadows that once overpowered you.

Sounds that bring out the not so happy memories.

The awareness of what’s at stake.

The knowledge that you have to find a way to fight, if you don’t want to be swallowed by the dark clouds.

The agility of the events, how fast you can go from being great to feeling… lost.

The loneliness that reminds you of how little your old enemies have changed.

The time that moves so fast and not at all. Your person who has change so much and not a bit.

A shrinking heart and a mind that seems to only grow in the wrong direction.

Feelings overriding reason.

Familiar symptoms, but the cure yet to be found.

A lingering question… Will you ever defeat it for real?

Moments… to keep calm, reflect and control.

Moments that throw you back to the past when you try to think about the future.

Moments that can defy how the next days, weeks, months, and even years will go.
