Two Tablespoons

This morning I drank anxiety
Without thinking, automatically
I mixed a tablespoon into my coffee
And added another for good measure

I drank it down
Down, down, I drank it down
And now, intermixed
It flows with my blood to my mind, my heart

I couldn’t figure out why I was nervous
Why my thoughts frenzied
Why my eyes tired
But then I remembered

I stirred two tablespoons of anxiety
Into my coffee today
And that is why

So now I know
And now I know
Will your living water dilute?
Will your rivers overrun and engulf?

The Spirit is life and peace
And I am all anxiety and frenetic movement
But the Spirit is life and peace
