The Scorpion
december 13, 2018









The Scorpion
​
A hurried crawl in the corner of her eye
Draws attention to a nervous energy
Alive inside and outside, a feeling
A fear, a sense, a sickness in the gut
​
A pause of motion, a moment frozen
Is it the fear or the arachnid piercing progress?
Gaze into the distance, look back down
At the microscopic scorpion, scurrying away
​
Eyes forward, keep treading, beyond anxiety
Look up, a new perspective on the horizon
Drawing closer, in clarity and transformation
The fear behind her, an oasis awaits.

XOXO, L
