A Helping Hand

 

When panic overtakes me

I always experience that helping hand

and it seems as if this puts me

out of the situation for a moment.

 

So that I dare to let the chaos be

without colouring it with thoughts.

And fear not taking away the view

nor having an alienating effect on me.

 

Then I watch from a distance,

because I am so tired of the fear and unrest

and with one leg in and the other out

a new light is glimmering through

my misted up windows.
