Listless and tired
Lost and groping in the dark
In the wilderness
Not coming your way
Devoid of a direction
In a dreamlike stance
Like clouds in the sky
Figurines of many hues
Drifting and timeless
Am having the blues
Semblance of a soulless being
Renders one helpless
Rise, search your conscience
Tranquil and serene yonder
Ask and be informed

Drifting and timeless....captures the blues well for me...for me this bluesy feeling is going beyond feeling down...it always carries a certain soulfulness, an inspiring depth beneath its melancholic cover..and often takes us to new shores....i like..
This piece does indeed capture the feeling you set out to depict. The clipped style suits it admirably, yet you do not often find them together. Full marks for doing so.
ReplyDeleteFeels like you wrote this for me, I am having the blues Hank. I savour the last stanza but I can only go as far as rise, search your conscience, for I already have the answer.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and lots of new words for me... Awesome Pareng Hank!..

My winter blues are fading with the serene and tranquil sky....
ReplyDeleteHave a good day ~
The blues can be a fickle thing
ReplyDeleteBut they are fading more with spring
At least for most
Not lingering like a ghost
And ask an be informed
Should be the norm
