"May the rest of your day be the best of your day!"

Carla Anderson

Like Minds Come Together

In a divisive era, the voices that bring us together do so in prophetic prose

& passionate poetry that detail our journey.

Queen Sheba Speaks is the gathering place for our thoughts, feelings,

and adventures viewed as the chapters of our life story.

Here, the beauty of nature and the organic evolution of the spirit take place

in words and imagery, like never before...

"ANXIETY"

FROM: THE MIDNIGHT SNACK

by Carla Anderson

They say I've a bit of anxiety.

Now, what could I be anxious about?

Besides lack of sleep, or emotional strain or financially doing without?

All the running about to the sitter's and shopping, and working eight hours a day.

Where I've stood tall as everything that I have, save my dignity, gets snatched away.

Could it be all those evenings I've come in so tired, just to end my day as I'll begin it?

Cooked, cleaned, tended children, and once all is done, make my bed just to get in it?

Or, maybe I just need to learn how to manage my time so I spend some on me.

Of course, that would mean that I couldn't be all of the places that I need to be.

And, so now when friends see me, they think I seem strange and they wonder just what it could be.

See, I'm not really spastic, I'm perfectly sane.

I just have a bit of ANXIETY!
