NaPoWriMo - Day 16 - Satisfactorily Normal


 The day folded like so many others

Into an origami bird, migrating.

I watched bemused as the inky night fell.

A hum filled the air: a dopamine hit.

The sound pierced my ears: a sertraline bit.

I watched and waited: deflated and belated.



Across the sky, a colourful sound approached.

In the wind, a pastel image occurred.

Through the meadow a dark, dank mist rising.

In my home, I sit, quiet, pale, and I stare.

Adventures stilted by, what? Emptiness.

Life? Life has amounted to confusion.

Life? Life has drifted, softly to nothing.
Life, satisfactorily normal, devoid of flare.
