Mindfield ……. by Punam
Sometimes
the jumbled neurons are a dense tangled web
not letting a shard of sense to penetrate
yet the synaptic cleft is a coarse sieve
through which dark, biased thoughts slither
into the cauldron of disquiet subconscious
poisoning the process of perception
infiltrating the inviolable memory bank
leaving long held beliefs comatose
the communication between
the conscious and the subconscious
totters on the verge of total collapse
But then
learned behaviour kicks in
an antidote to the tenebrous paralysis
sometimes a battle is won or two lost
in this ongoing exhausting war
the surface calm belying the struggle within
giving up often seems the best recourse
stubborn heels dig in then.
