Listless Mind



I wasn’t able to comprehend
what was happening to me
and the air of melancholy
that was wrapped around me
Everything was in accordance
but still, my mind tossing
my ear filled with buzz
my heart left with flowers
that no longer blossomed
There was nothing left that could soothe my soul
Even the moon that once used to answer my queries
was cold
The universe seemed to be dull and drowsy
Every entity trying to utter
how lonely it felt
Didn’t know the state of my mind
would bring me to this
and make me forget how to replenish
