[ NaPo 2021 ] [ OP ] Crop Circlings

 
What brings you joy?  
 
In the imagination, seek it out---  
 
   listen  
 
look  
   
   taste  
 
touch  
 
   smell  
 
and keep whatever you find  
alive in the heart and mind  
---sow additional seeds  
whenever you can;  
harvest all year round  
 
What else are these senses for ..?  
 
Aiding you in an earthbound  
scavenger hunt to acquire more  
money? time? security?  
attention? affection? Love?  
 
The very things you concluded  
you didn't have enough of . . .  
 
only because you instead  
focused on what didn't yield  
a measure of happiness  
 
as if a farmer anticipating  
a blighted field
