Again

I want another shot at life,
this one’s almost over.
Couldn’t ever concentrate,
too many possibilities.
What are the odds,
that it ever could be any different?

All possibilities are open but we have to be ready them with courage to embrace my friend! Profound question that touches the core of one's soul dear, David!

If only we could have "one moment in time" again and again! "too many possibilities" for us to reach.. a thought provoking write! My deepest regards. Blessings.

Whoa - now that is some deeply profound personal thinking! My opinion on your probably rhetorical question, I'll spare you, my opinion on your poem is that its a pauser, will have many readers reflecting. All the best ... CayCay

I believe the soul goes on forever, it is only released in the dream state, and finally in death for a bit. Then it has to come back to learn the lessons it did not learn in the multitude of lifetimes before this lifetime, so never give up hope. Just relax and enjoy your choices. To me this is the only fair thing that could happen. And our God is a fair and loving God right?

gosh, if reincarnation is true, you could end up with a very different life. Sure will be interesting to get to the end of the trip and know for sure!! In any event, I predict it is gonna be splendid if we end up all in another world!

"Could it be any different?" Perhaps!!! Maybe not. Ups and downs are a part of life, learning from them- is the key. Having "too many possibilities." Is never a bad thing. In fact, it is a very good thing. I think so, anyway. ~ Brandy

100%! When anything on this earth "dies", it simply becomes something else, as clearly established by DNA millennial records. The choice is whether to regenerate in Florida, or Afghanistan! Aloha! Rico

That last line is the true question and mystery. I don’t know if we started over if we could change. We’d all like to think so.

Great question! Much food for thought for all of us in that question, David. … Would we do it differently? / Would it be any different? … Eternal questions … ~ Gershon
