The tussle between the thoughts
wreak havoc to my sanity
the positives and negatives jostle
vie, to dominate each other
mire the mind in a muddled mess.
Bound within the confines of home
the daily chores defeat the weary body
frustrations overpower the confused mind
it succumbs to a sulking mood
banging the door shut, to all .
The eventide ray from the horizon peeps in
bringing with it an enlightened reflection
merging the vestige of dark thoughts with the weaning shadows
the benign glow of the amethyst horizon
embraces the soul in a serene grace of gratitude .
Confined to home due to the lock down, my ramblings found words to vent out my frustrations. All fine, just waiting for this dark cloud to blow away without much harm.
Stay safe , Take care!
Very beautifully expressed !!

Thank you Lorraine. Yes, the fear and uncertainty of the end result adds on to the frustration. But I guess we need to stay strong and safe to overcome this pandemic.

We do. Fear can do so many things to us and we need to try and find ways of nipping it in the bud. It is just finding those ways

I agree Lorraine. Fear has many unwanted side effects. Prayers, meditation and trying to inculcate an optimistic outlook may help in curtailing it’s negative effects.
