Mental Block

ArmageddonPendi 1952 (Te Puke)

Blank verse
When I get trapped by my thoughts I think of nothing
Did feelings of anxiety lead me here?
Overwhelmed by this psychological obstacle I gaze nonplussed at the invisible barrier that checks my productivity.
Unable to proceed with the task at hand and bushwhacked by nothingness, I reach for my Holy Bible. And after a verse or two I say, Ahhh! Back to the land of the living.
