Worry

Worry is a swirling eddy leading to the numbing of delight 

It is not a tulip 

or a darting wren ... 


 No flat line of indifference 

no sweet song of a cardinal trilling from waking branches 

no whistling dance punctuating the morning's rambles 

Worry is a heavy weight about which we tether ourselves when 

       the all light is shadowed by the overgrowth of burden 

It is not a tulip or a darting wren
