Tired (of Thinking)

Woke up this morning with cobwebs in my eyes
Thinking of yesterday, the past and binding ties
Everything changes whilst I sit still
Watching everything pass, no touch or feel

I feel restrained, a prisoner of sorts
Wondering what’s next, what battle to be fought
I listen to my niece happily babbling away
Oh to be a baby again, food, drink and play

I, like us all, just need that break in life
To put me on the map but time I must bide
Confidence and faith are strong weapons to bear
Then when all works out I won’t have a care

I need that space that’s elusive to find
The mountains and the sea always in my mind
Waiting for that moment of pure clarity
Twice I’ve had, gone to a moments sad posterity

This is rare to have if indeed you are lucky enough
So grab what you see in your minds eye, this insightful rush
For with it you will know the answers you seek
Don’t let it leave you or you’ll always think

I’m so tired, tired (of thinking)
Of different possibilities but chances not taken
I’m so tired, tired (of thinking)
In this sand of the mind I am sinking
