Mindless Days

Mindless Days

On Monday as I walked along,
to my surprise my mind had gone!
On checking where it should belong
no mind there I thought... there's none!

On Tuesday as I walked along,
as you may have guessed my mind's still gone!
But the voices now belong in there
and I'm insane but I don't care!

On Wednesday as I walked along
third day in you guessed it gone!
A funny thought came and then it went
Did I say funny? strange I meant!

On Thursday as I walked along,
my mind's not there its solid gone!
Will tomorrow find it's wandered back?
or it could be insight that I lack!

On Friday as I walked along,
I've checked again but the bugger's gone!
Is it hiding out or around somewhere?
But where that is I'm unaware!

On Saturday as I walked along,
I accepted then my mind was gone!
And maybe now its gone for good,
Give up? then I guess I should!

But on Sunday as I walked along
My mind came back, no longer gone!
I laugh and cry, then I suddenly think
Mindless days just really stink!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
