A Poetic Moment Pondering How to Surrendering to Tasks Supports One to Find Clarity

Daily writing prompt
What’s something you believe everyone should know.
Sometimes when we’re struggling to focus on any given task,
’Tis not a case of we need to practice techniques to hone our mind,
But rather that we’ve too varied a collection of tasks upon our to do list,
Scattering our thoughts vastly ~ too far afield from our core’s alignment to find,
Prohibiting our focus from easily holding this moments selection in the way we desire.

Thus as our mind delves from element to element often straying from where we’d like,
Mentally hastening to comprehend the task at hand then going to the next ‘fore we’re done,
Akin a bee tending flower by flower and venturing to the first step in the next while dodging a kite,
Our thoughts struggling to maintain stability if we’re forever bouncing on the run,
Tasks swirling rather than decompiling awaiting their selection in the next moments plight.

For even if one were to light a candle and practice watching it’s flame,
One may observe it’s dance with the slightest of unfelt breeze far from tame,
As our world can be perceived to be in a constant state of varying styles of chaos’ reign,
Each being in a constant state of doing even if their doing is currently slow and serene,
Or a faster paced moment supporting others as a component of an out to win team…

Hence remember this: Tasks will forever be as plentiful as stars in a clear nights sky,
All differing and lying in wait for their moment of observation in your minds focus,
Thus while one need allow themselves to just flow as unobstructed as they can in the moment that’s nigh,
Surrendering to the task at hand can at times do more for productivity than other types of hocus pocus,
Promoting one’s flow rather than increasing burnout and tensions already unideally high.
