contemplativeMadness Absent
Madness absent presents a void
where only tiredness may prevail
along with ghosts that circumscribe
the issues that still haunt my life
the ideation is put aside
no longer present at all times
a long reprieve from the call
from the darkness of the void
when sanity was found at last
from a source that I’d not expect
the fog of doom is finally pierced
to reveal normality
the journey becomes one of days
small diversions hand-in-hand
with the grind I now embrace
less excitement of death’s hint
now the years stretch ahead
demanding more than past lack
it’s enough to turn back
find a way to mania
here's the joke before you go
if ideation is all one knows
spice provided is then missed
neurosis gone is for the best.
