twitchy

Fear not, doubt's dark whispers,
embrace the testing ground.

We face the same old existential dreads -
the unexpected twist, the vague essay prompt.

Genial birdsong mocked our anxious morning
and squirrels still scampered unconcerned.

“You’re a beautiful bundle of stress,” 
I assured Lisa this morning
as I handed her her water bottle.

Anais, There's a kind truth in life and lemons..., not the bad kind. I remember once, standing at attention, jealous of the freedom of the squirrels. Glad Lisa has a friend in hydration, though 'twitchy' knows no bounds. Best in holiday wishes fot you and yours. -Richard
