Boredom

A bore hole of fantasy once you dig deep in your mind Ennui converts into Feng Shui All you need is a dustpan and brush to sift through your pain Some archaeological DIY tools Become a geologist and mine your very own thoughts Explore tedium and lassitude malaise and confusion Search for gold dust among the ruins of weariness Forage for contentment meaning and reason Beware of alchemy and doomed prophets hanging from false ceilings above Precious ink from your fountain needs time to sink in Loneliness bears the potential for solitude and completion Side effects are intended results Submerge yourself in an ocean of unlimited reflection Dive carefully but you must take the plunge Hold your breath when you reach the sediment of your emotions But decompress your melancholy sorrows The anchor of hope awaits the mariner draped in sea weed and love An octopus guides to an eight fold noble path I am not drowning but waving in private resolve gratitude and peace At times upside down but buoyant as a kite in the sky 03rd March 2020
