This is wonderful and full of meaning. I too am someone who mulls over decisions, relentlessly. It was this line that grabbed my attention the most: "a curse could come disguised as your second chance"
Choices. Not to be dropped on head when born. Go with flow. Word bombs shell us but pick them up. Listen to the sea roar sounds that pummel relief. No worries mate. Believe in yourself and take a step tomorrow will come. Food may be on the table. If not fast. Manna arrives just in time.
Great lines!! It's so easy to get afflicted with over-thought. But as for the murk, I'd rather have "murk" than "certainty"...murk is you MIGHT be ugly, stupid and have a terrible personality...certainty erases all doubt...I'm all for murk until the day I move on from here...murk leaves room for argument
the abyss, longing for the airlift
Yes thanks Mog
Best line: "I am afflicted
with over-thought,
too much tumult,
feelings overwrought, " Keep up the good work Franco!
Thanks Scarlett
I agree!
Me too one that stood out as I heard this poem read.
Your words are timely... and beautifully teased out the murk to reveal our human conundrums.
Thank you, Lisa ❤️
Mirk Monday was long the name in Scotland for the great solar eclipse of March 29, 1652.

Does the k mar the mir(ror)? PKD certainly embraced cracked reflections. Thanks for being accessible, caring, and lit.
Love it. Thank you DB
Superb analysis of life
Thank you Ria
wonderful philosophical poem... for me, the path opens through my opening to All That Is... the Creator somehow nudging and poking me ....
Thanks , glad you enjoyed this one, Peter
Interesting take the deeper meaning of meaningfulness.
This is wonderful and full of meaning. I too am someone who mulls over decisions, relentlessly. It was this line that grabbed my attention the most: "a curse could come disguised as your second chance"
thank you, yes I feel that's a poignant line for sure
This:
"how do you know when
a curse could come disguised
as your second chance "
Good God man!
thank you man, I appreciate it
Loving this poem. I'll have to take a good look at that novel now.
Thank you, Victoria

nicely said. Thank you Richard.

I also suffer from occasional overthinking. I hear it's an affliction that can be cured by forest bathing and sex. 😉
haha, forest bathing and sex, sounds like that would cure a lot of society's ills :)
thanks, DC
Makes sense to me
thank you, Karen
As always - such an enjoyable piece.
thank you V. I'm please that you enjoyed it

yes, absolute certainty can be a prison. one where the person doesn't even know they're locked up
Great observation!
