Thinking – Written Saturday 28th December 2019 (Aged 44)

Thinking

have to stop the thinking
thinking drains you
if you let it
cannot forget it
if only i could
too much thinking
and it will not swim away
help me today
let me get away

have to fight the thinking
thinking drains you
if you let it
and thinking is often not your friend
its creative pleasures
offer some light
but leave me wondering
if it is not just a weighty fight
tell me, do you think –
the trials and tribulations –
of those that think
spend too long skating on thin ice
in a run down ice rink
