Where has all my gumption gone, I longingly lament. It does not seem so long ago, that a certain spark stayed unafraid within me. An idea on the wind would send the spark into a flame of action. My reaction was to do. So little pondering could send me wandering to find things to accomplish. Now it seems my flint is finis and my spark has grown dark. My reaction is no action. Nothing is my want to do. I’m slow as molasses, Every day I sit on my ass is wasted. I need some desire, a little bit of fire down in my belly, that wants to do more than sit and watch the telly. I want to snap out of this haze of malaise I’m in. I need zippidy in my do-da, a stimulant without flaw. I want gusto and get go. I want vigor and vim to get moving again. A lil’ bit of fire is all that I desire. LGR©11/5/15 |

You are in a fine kettle, sha. I relate on these kinds of days, more and more as my days grow shorter. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

They say you are as old as you feel- I think some days I am older than you and dirt! ~L |

quote: Dear Lory, I think we all have these moments, maybe it's our body that desires a rest so we can recharge. I love your take on this problem and I do not doubt that you will quickly "snap out of this haze of malaise"! In fact you already did, by writing this gorgeous poem! Love, Margherita |

"I need some desire, a little bit of fire down in my belly," This is a sad write! ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
