Twiddling
Twiddling
I’ve travelled far
but how did I get so far away.
I’ve lived in shadow
and scaled the mountain tops.
I’ve no right you know
to complain to God or anyone.
I’ve travelled far
but how did I get so far away.
I spent myself
just spreading myself thin,
many loose ends,
too many for one to have.
Like everything a person starts
something to do first.
I spent myself
just spreading myself thin.
So, I sit and stare,
passing time ‘til it lets me be.
Musing on the “why
I wasted life”, or it wasted me,
and answers are slow,
but I do begin to comprehend.
So, I sit and stare,
passing time ‘til it lets me be.
yes, I sit and stare
passing time ‘till it lets me be.
