Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Amid the roar of my pounding heartbeats
Comes a whispering voice ~
Take a breath, calm your heart
for in this moment you have a choice.
You can surrender, give in to fear
fade to midnight black
or fight and ultimately win,
Never looking back.

Excellent advice, Linda:
