Bleak, damp, and miserable, the day lumbered aimlessly without any direction: never igniting my creative powers but draining all my positive energy.
While contemplating sleep, I stare at the silent sun lingering above the quiet horizon. It appears trapped in the distant haze.
Pondering what the day offered me, my head becomes filled with blank pages, but they are replaced with delicious schnapps. Many things require attention, but need and desire demand different solutions.
I return my gaze to the descending sun, hoping fantasies will capture my lethargic mind. Unfortunately, my concentration has crashed; I’m going nowhere. Slothful, I crave hibernation.
Great imagery; I could almost “see” the narrator’s day as it unfolded.
You captured this person’s life so well!
Now, that’s a bad case of writer’s block 🙂
Love the line “need and desire demand different solutions.” It resonates with one of Einstein’s sayings, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
