Driftwood

Neither action nor inaction Simply driftwood Out of control Nowhere to go A message in a bottle Too late for that Written with stardust It's just wanderlust Old memories Older than the trees It clearly meant something But to nobody So odd the passage of time So slow but so fast And painfully unforgiving A here today Gone tomorrow type of thing It's just a big circle This rushing river Start over Too late for that A message in a bottle Nowhere to go Out of control Simply driftwood Neither action nor inaction

You've summarised that downbeat, weary, fed up feeling that we all experience from time to time perfectly.
