Separated By Angst

When I worry I gather myself 

I become a cat 
A cat playing in pure instinct
Perched on a limb gazing

I become a tree 
The blind growing skyward
Reaching high by millimeter

I become a leaf transpiring
Breathing drops of water
Rising with the morning air

I become a nimbus
Drifting far above cares
Till I rain down upon me

I become a sting of wetness
Reminding me I am the world
Worrying too much about me

The cat, the tree, the clouds 
In me a quaternity
Banished by worry

Till I return to ok-ness
