Overcast
A poem about battling anxiety
Worry. This annoying entity often makes its presence felt at the worst times. The subject popped into my mind as I gazed at the dark clouds that are a huge part of year-end weather.
Now, we can't stop dark clouds from gathering but we can prevent them from affecting us.Here are a few humble suggestions.
Overcast
sky
Dark not of
Our own
volition
Dark clouds
Douse
The senses
pleasure
Clouds
Will depart
When our minds are
On the white ones
Behind
Pains be taken
To pay the white
Fluff heed
Charm the soil,
No negative seed
Shelter from
The rain and woe
With souls of same mind.
