1468 (B's a buzz'in). EXPANDED VERSION OF THREE STEP PLAN TO REGAIN SERENITY

At times when I feel incapable of
Completing a simple task
Tis not a question of 'finding time' but
Rather a matter of instinct alerting
My think tank to bide its time until
A relaxed sense of inner peace has
Been regained, and that proves especially
True in the aftermath of a sweeping
Sensation of deeply suppressed
Emotion, which having threatened to
Knock down my wall of denial, would have
Released a deeper truth that, if exposed
Would free an inner conflict that
My defense system had thought best to
Suppress, and if my fear of exhuming
That emotional conflict, which has remained
 Buried alive, conjoins with my original fear of
Emotional complexity, left unresolved
During childhood, then we can see why
Thoughts of that simple task served as
The catalyst, which swirled my think tank into
Such a chaotic state of disarray as to render
My processor too confused to connect
The dots in such a logical fashion as to
Comprehend this fact:  Today's
Train of intuitive thought is making headway
Toward spotlighting two fears, which
Having conjoined into one, have 
Spun my connection to logical reasoning
Just beyond my grasp, suggesting that
My doubled fear of emotional combustion
Feels too complex for serenity to handle, and
As our defense systems have no concept of
Time or space, my head spin had not been able to
Clarify how one fear had exacerbated the other
And thus does today's string of intuitive
Insights heighten our conscious awareness to
Comprehend why thoughts of that simple task
Spun my sense of personal safety back to
A terrifying time when, at the vulnerable age of
Three, I experienced the terror of
Irretrievable loss, which had devastated
Every member of my extended family, suggesting that
A significant portion of my current reaction
Is directly related to subliminal flashbacks from
My distant past at which time my brain's potential
To remain securely connected to logical reasoning
(During times of personal crises) had not
Yet developed, and thus doth insight cajole us to
Consider this fact:  Over my lifetime
Unresolved fear of being swept into
The eye of an uncontrolled emotional tornado
Has made a time-traveler of my brain, most especially
When a split second flash of subliminal
Awareness (stimulated by a current event) zooms
Back and forth across my personal timeline
Conjoining adulthood with early childhood within
Milliseconds, spinning my conscious awareness toward
Re-experiencing an anxious child's fear of
Explosive emotional complexity, which, over the years
Has grown to assume such spectral proportions as to
Stun my adult mind with sudden spikes of adrenaline-laden
Anxiety that make me feel as if a near and present danger is
Closing in, suggesting my mind reeling with feeling
The dark threat of The Spector of Death's chilling breath on
My neck, and with today's string of insights clearly in sight
My newfound sense of clarity, concerning this week's
Head spinning fear of explosive emotion associating with
Irretrievable loss, answers why no amount of
Ohhmmm has relaxed my processor's intermittent 
Swirling sensations of anxiety over these last couple of
Days, highlighting the reason why my intuitive
Intelligence is presently working to consciously
Disconnect childhood's subconscious fear of death from
Today's adult conscious absorption of
Logical reasoning by choosing to call upon
Creativity to reorganize my think tank by
Conjuring up this simple three step plan of action:

Step one:
Offer myself the soothing patience that
I'd graciously gift a friend

Step two:
Choose to set the simple task aside
Until natural waves of emotion no longer
Threaten to overwhelm my peaceful
Connection to logic

Step three: Repeat steps one and two
Until thoughts of completing
This simple task match
My calmed sense of internal
Readiness to confront
A deeper truth concerning fear, which
Much to my surprise, has, by way of
Creative writing, managed to slip out of
Subconscious storage, and is
Presently sitting quietly in my lap
Staring me openly in the face, and
Having worked to know the intelligent
Adult whom I prove to be from
The inside outI feel no secreted reason for
Anxiety to strike ... right now
And considering the fact that
Over these past two days my
Brain's consumption of energy
Has been trained upon patching
Cracks in my wall of denial
Thank goodness my power of
Intuition called forth creativity to
Divert my attention away
From fear in favor of penning this
Post, suggesting that once
My defense system lowered its
Guard, that stealthy little
Deeper truth slipped out of
Its subconscious hiding place
Through a crack in my wall of
Denial, and as one string of insights
Leads to the next, Lo and behold
We come to see how today's
Well-organized train of
Intuitive insights has come to
Spotlight this fact, as well:
Over these past few days
My connection to logic was only
Disrupted when specific thoughts
Concerning that simple task, aroused
Waves of deeply repressed
Emotion, which, proving as strong as
The night tide crashing darkly against
The shore, made me question why
Readiness to accomplish this
Simple task, peacefully, was not mine

Thank goodness, intuitive intelligence
Guided my conscious mind to identify
That insight concerning childhood's fear
Of flooding emotions exacerbatinG
My anxiety before my adult mind could
Consciously summon the inner strength
Necessary to confront emotional reactions
That proved so complex at the age of
Three as to have left me feeling utterly
Overwhelmed with grief of irretrievable loss
And thus is it plain to see why any thought
Relating to a simple task, which
Threatened to tap into depths of pain so
Great as to stimulate my survival instinct to
Call forth my defense system to stuff
Anything that felt remotely similar to my
Original feeling of emotional abandonment 
Right next to my diminished self worth, behind
My wall of denial, and thanks to my
Current understanding of
The eruptive nature of PTSD
I have sound reason to consider
This fact, as well:  The mere thought of
That simple task threatened to expose
All of those negatively focused, emotional
Reactions, which proved far too potent for
Ohhmmm to appease until 
My connection to intuitive intelligence
Beseeched my sense of compassion
To draw forth as much patience as
Proved necessary in hopes of
Re-adjusting my calm, courageous
Rebalanced sense of
Adult connection to clarity, which
Ultimately served to offer my natural
Sense of readiness the go-ahead ...
Ohhmmm
Ohhmmm
Ohhmmm
Hmmmm ...
While editing this post
Many memories of happiness
Directly related to completing
The simple task at hand
Arose to soothe waves of fear of
Emotional turbulence, thus
Calming the waters through
Which my life raft has just
Paddled, and as joyous memories
Reduce fear, significantly, I feel
The tide lapping against my shoreline
Much much more gently, today
Than had proved true in
Times past when my understanding
Of serenity as a choice had
Not yet developed, so though
The unedited version of
This post had originally ended with 
No green light, as of yet ...
Later in the day, intuitive thought
Empowered my conscious awareness
With successfully completing this
Simple task, suggesting that
Once childhood fear had reason to
Stop stalking my adult sense of emotional
Maturity, my conscious awareness
No longer felt overwhelmed by
Spiking anxiety, so once again
I have reason to thank
Intuitive intelligence for calling upon
Creative thinking, which spotlights
Insights that brighten my adult mind to
Expand toward feeling so securely
Grounded as to inspire today's
Emotionally matured, self assured
Sense of wholeness to embrace another
Personal growth spurt, which has offered my
Think tank an angle of repose that
Has enhanced my ability to relax while
Fulfilling a heartfelt goal ... OHHMMM
