It is one of those long days
when everything seems to pass in a haze
Yet I can hear the footsteps of mind
though it seems to find itself in a bind
As if it is in some kind of a daze
unable to find plausible, ways
To think clearly and move ahead
no enjoyment, only dread
No will to read or post but to laze
and turn inwards its critical gaze.
Good one 👍

I would contend that introspection is not laziness! Just because the body is at rest doesn’t mean that the mind isn’t hard at work. That’s why we have nap time!! 😉

Ah! Nap time. Haven’t indulged in it lately. Maybe that’s the reason for my befuddlement! Must take one today. 😉😀
