How Do You Feel Today? Poem by Anita Atina

Sometimes I feel like an eagle

Seeing the big picture, soaring afar

On other days a mouse

Scurrying around for crumbs


There are days when I flow like a river

Young in places,

Eternal in others

But ever moving on!


Dark turgid waters close over

Almost sinking belief, on some days

Until it rises flailing

For another breath of life


The best days are when I feel transparent

Not soaring, scurrying or moving on

When the flailing stops,

Aglow in the warm stillness of life and light!
