Preoccupied

Dive deep into my thoughts 
And tell me what you’ll unravel.
Have you lost your way in your search 
Or got tangled in a tight web?

“The mess is my fault, I know,
I’ve been there.”


You see, the seeds that I’ve sowed,
Oh, how they have sprawled - relentlessly.
Beyond the control of mind,
From where they were conceived.

“To be lost in in your own thoughts,
Is to be absorbed in preoccupation.”
