Sometimes

Journal entry, (Salzburg, Austria, Friday, July 8, 2005)

by Lynda McKinney Lambert

Sometimes I am tense

I walk without looking

My eyes focus on stone

My mind a rage of fears.

Sometimes when I pass beyond

The bridge over the raging river

I bend forward

And I forget to see the sky.

Sometimes my hands push

Hard into my jacket pockets

I pull my shoulders

Up and thrust down my heels.

Sometimes it’s lonely here

Everything begins to look

Like something beyond my reach

Sometimes, I ache with an unknown pain.
