Comfort Taking Over
The Mind is dulled
Colourful lights dim and misshapen
floating from afar, resembling lanterns
each a thought that just might awaken
one after the other in mesmerising patterns
-
Walking down the road of intensifying intentions
instinctual and inventive
intellectual and infective
forever, always productive
But
the lanterns are dimming
thoughts are all but thinning
around the mind just spinning
melting into the ether... forever lost
-
Twinning halos and horns with every thought
each bisected into the useful and the misleading
the useful forlorn and diverted into ceding
to procrastination
-
As they say, embers need nurturing to grow into a magnificent fire, just as a question needs nurturing to bloom into a complete thought
clouds of doubt may come and blow away useful thoughts, leaving a seed shrivelled, drifting in darkness
who knows when it'll be watered and cared for... is it lost forever?
how can I water it? how can I succeed?
thoughts are calling to me but I feel so weak
pointless thoughts spring up to take over
my mind dulled and comfort reins over
my mind...dulled
comfort
take over
