    Waiting, but enticed by all that he sees,
    Impatience is getting the better of him.
    Not able to sit or stand still for more than a few minutes,
    Meditation is not helping him calm down right now.

    His thoughts wander to the blonde woman's ass
    who stands merely four feet away.
    She is examining a pair of pink pointed toed heels,
    very stylish indeed. She has good taste, he must admit.
    Back to the task at hand! NO more wandering mind!

    Looking across the busy mall, he can't help
    but feel the butterflies in his stomach.
    The unnatural lighting is giving him a headache.
    "I hate shopping," he thought to himself.

    What to get his most beautiful wife?
    The question is indeed a riddle for him to figure out.
    He plays with it in his mind, chewing on it as
    he walks from aisle to aisle and shelf to shelf.

    He enters the final store before he spots it,
    the gift that screams her name.
    Shining, polished rose quartz mounted on a ring.
    Not all women prefer diamond as their rock of choice.

    Haven't you all felt overwhelmed in a busy mall at Christmas time, looking for that special gift for that special someone? I wrote this to express the feeling of being overwhelmed, whether it is caused by shopping or a big test! ;)

    Peace and love

    Hey, really liked your contribution, it very accurately expresses how we get overwhelmed , and how our whole body reacts to this stress. I could feel the shoppers anxiety with the wish to express himself and his feelings in a material way, and the bombardment of his senses in the chaotic marketplace. I like your style alot.
