Worry Seed

Worry Seed

By CJTheTallPoet

Careful concentration 

Was weirdly applied  

As I divided the nourishment into tenths 

Then placed each one in containers 

Symbols of old and colorful origin 

Had briefly revealed themselves to me 

A "worry seed” was planted in my mind 

What happened? 

Was nature displeased by camping activities? 

Almost time to reach the road 

Yet this "worry" seed was taking control 

Parasitic is how I would describe the feeling 

When attempts at walking were mediocre 

My rapid hums had attracted many insects 

Now I felt completely trapped 

So now I awkwardly sit on a stump and observe this bug ensemble

From the comfort of sweet thoughts 

That was forcefully made 

To prevent a mental shutdown 

From occurring
