it’s that tension between taking the first thing you can get because you are hungry and desperate, longing for an airlift out of the abyss and knowing that you’re worth more, and being patient, waiting longer, but potentially starving for longer,
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"
I love this. I have always felt that we craft and have agency in determining our way through this world. At least I felt strongly about this up until the last few years and now that view has changed substantially. I still try to roll and go with the flow though 😉
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.
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 ❤️

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

Yeah I find that life continually has surprises in store for us
Loving this poem. I'll have to take a good look at that novel now.
Thank you, Victoria

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
