A Moment of J'oie de vivre

by Tom Horonzy

 
I awoke this morning with an air of  joie de vivre
delighted in being alive had my mind dancing a jig
when without warning the thoughts I thought, 
in sleep, which flowed as easily as a river to the sea, 
became jammed against a dam, no longer free; 
as if they had never been as clever as I believed
turning the brilliance gathered into ephemeral blather.

How to proceed made a fool out of me.
I blinked my eyes, let out a sigh 
sat in a chair, and began to cry.
trying to shake cobwebs from my mind.
Zip, zippo, zilch. Diddly squat.

So, I am doing the next best thing.
I'm going back to sleep.
