The Desert Mind

Sometimes, I am an ocean of ideas,
And sometimes I am a river of emotions.
Everything is so great then
When I have a hold on the things in life.
But recently, I've hit a snag,
And I simply can't put two and two together.
It makes me so frustrated, yes sir,
That I really can't make any sense of it.

And so it is with this desert mind I have,
Parched, forboding, tumbleweed paradise.
I find that things are mighty prickly,
That I am just so damn powerless.
I can't seem to see the little light
My mama said is there at the end of the tunnel.
I'm wheezing and sneezing and coughing, too,
For the well's run dry, this desert mind ado.
