i wonder about these times, ollie. it seems we are signed up for them, rather then electing them ourselves. perhaps we need them. without them how might we appreciate that other place?
There's nothing wrong with owning your weariness. In fact, I think it's good mental health to balance the yin and yang. Being happy every second of our lives is humanly impossible.
I really love how well you expressed yourself. As a reader, I could feel your despair but know it's not permanent.
No pun intended but this poem weighs heavy. It reeks of burden and hardship. It seems though there is a wee chance of overcoming with patience although not written. Thank you for sharing such a thought provoking piece.
Or a week off! Hang in there, Ollie!

ReplyDeletethat's why he shouldn't have sold his Ferrari!
ReplyDeletejokes apart, you express so much with so few words...wonderful craftsmanship.
A lot expressed in so few words. The weariness of the world...
ReplyDelete*hugs*
i dislike waiting
ReplyDeleteUncomfortable in its heaviness, Ollie.
ReplyDeleteOld Ollie,
ReplyDeleteIt seems like something is pressing heavily upon the shoulders of The Tired Monk.
Perhaps a day of simple prayer may help!
