The Task at hand

acrostic poem

The Task at hand

Delibrately working in a calm sea

Intrusive thoughts aplenty

Stay on task

Time stands still

Reciting the assignment

At hand

Commanding such attention

That I do not have to give

Inspiring oneself to reach out

Overthinking the impossible

Never to complete the task at hand
