The turn of a dime

One moment,
a second,
everything can change,
the turn of a dime is all it takes.

Anxiety is often a rational response
to the fickleness
that is the warp and weave of our lives,
which can seem so permanent,
yet each day many find this to be false,
a lie,
though one that gives comfort,
and without it we would freeze,
hide and never come out to the light of day.
