visions in verse: Depression Of The Mind

Depression Of The Mind

By Andy Allchurch

Am I in the right place?

Have I the right face

Am I living or close to death

What does my future hold?

Have I enough time to grow old

Is reality good or bad for my health?

It’s here and now, and way beyond

The drift is for catching, no swan song

Kindle the passions be warm of heart

But don’t expect what is wanted, from the start

For life can be a memory, in light or dark

Sensations retained in the mind give reputation, a benchmark

Do I need to make plans?

Is there need of guardians?

Am I downcast or lost in hope

What say you my horoscope?

Is the power of my position reduced?

And by this life have I been seduced

Located inside is spirit, a working machine

No officer is for saluting, command your dream

Only in existence can inquiries be found

The right of passage is open, reach common ground

As for descent it’s by design, its power of mind

Rehabilitate from imprisonment restore to former rank, be mankind
