Thoughtless drifting
Guides the reigns
To the helm of my worries
The threshold of hardship

The air thickens
As I launch from solid ground
Propelled into the grasp
Of worthless pondering

The hour’s jet past
Colorless and forgotten
As I simmer endlessly
Compromised and useless

Gradually
I am pried away
My humble gaze restored
Mundane and worthwhile

Yet clear panes
Yield to blemish
And I catapult for the mists
Of untroubled thoughts
Time after time
