Ennui of the Lost

Ennui conspires insipid moods infringing human awareness, ruled by a lunatic vision, not controlled by insight and lucidity; and desires of a Dolce Vita mollify a false illusion to appear on an intaglio, to gradually become a shining insignia. To steer a ship, takes effort and patience, and if its course is guided by favorable winds, all is well for the adventurous captain; and should he lose focus, lured by lunacy and nihilism, his enthusiasm wears out and failure sets in... and his ship will lurch on unfriendly waves, and his ennui lessens courage to deviate from the safe route when nocturnal vision is lost indeed. Ennui insinuates myopia, muzzling the voice and halting the mind's performance, thus forging the promise of utopia; and the hunch is to pursue intuition whenever it may lead...being the holster controlling the steed, getting rid of the humdrum and huff, humming and ignoring the hourglass, which trickles sand to infuse fear.
