DOLDRUMS

My mind goes off when there is nothing to ponder;

Starts hibernating as if there is no food for thought;

Boredom settles and restlessness begins; and

It hits the rock bottom to be in doldrums.

Looking up at good heavens, I wanna break this shackle;

Yet nothing inspirational emerges, and I get bamboozled;

So cumbersome I feel, when odds are against,

Unless I eject me out, I gonna perish.

So ecstatic it was, when I had just enough to be preoccupied;

Too busy I felt, when I had too much to ponder;

How is it my mind has gone to naught?

As if everything in the Universe is invisible!

I know there is quite a lot to graze over; yet my eyes are unsighted;

What obstructs my mind is my sluggishness to think;

Yet, I’ll wait for it to conceive a vision!

If I get started, I know, there’s no stopping me!

Let me tell myself, my perception is wrong;

I know, I still have enough left and I am yet to be exhausted;

Should this period of hibernation is over?

I know, I will be back with something enthralling!
