Copious: Shingles, Difficulty and Doubt

Strangely,
It’s not the pain
That’s most irksome
But the low moods
That keep persisting;

Pain I know
All too well,
Though perhaps
They are related,
I don’t know;

Anyway,
The predominant colour
Is not pink calamine,
But blue,

Fatigue is also
A prominent feature
Of this discomfort stew,
Which contributes to the other two;

But what’s this got to do
With meditation?
Nothing maybe,
As I’m full of doubt too;

I am questioning
How this is worthwhile,
Whether it really helps
In the absence of other resources;

Alternatively,
It’s mostly common sense,
Which reduces the quality
Of the ambiance;
How silly to hang on that,
But so many do,
And so, I guess I’m no different.
