Impressions 4/30/2026

First impression
Is the way
The soul
Let’s one
Know
The sensations
Felt
Are helpful signs
To help navigate
Expectations
We thought.

Whether
It”s positive
Or negative
Experience
Trusting
Is key
To accepting
The situation
At hand.

Release
Previous doubts
Release
Old inhibitions
Embrace the feelings
In the moment
And then relax.

While truth
And clarity
Will identify
What’s real
And what’s not.

Amazed
When calmness
And mindfulness
Take control
For what was
Feared
Is now nothing
But a blurb
In the past.
