It's just void screaming and will pass

There is nothing within these lines The uncaught hand of the fallen Nails digging into a palm That split second chance of connection, lost Gravity and time pulling As I scratch at smooth surfaces Grab at missed holds I couldn't have stopped anyway For my journey is dictated If only I could sit back, watch the view Have confidence in the driver I'm awake again, foot slamming invisible brakes I so want to drive... But these are foreign roads I'd never be able to navigate them It doesn't feel the point Let me object!!! Moments are not the collected sand in an hourglass! Those grains can scatter on the wind... I open my hand Stare at the life line And choose some wallpaper

Terrific poem and it seems to say you're going to be around for a while per your lifeline. I haven't checked mine and don't think I will. I enjoyed this poem.

Haha my eyes glazed over before I really looked at my life line... Perhaps the secret of long life is picking awful wallpaper and the universe has a laugh making you look at it for another 20 years :)

This one is certainly complex yet fully understandable Dilly, I totally get the meaninglessness in trying to change what is predestined, but still we must instinctively try to bring balance and order to our lives, I’d love to be able to tell you with absolute certainty that in an eternal universe, every possible scenario will play out eventually, alas I cannot but I have a damn good hunch it does, perhaps hold back on the wallpaper for now, a wonderful poem brilliantly expressed and delivered, (it will pass)cheers David

I think even if I have infinite lives I will never have a good eye for interior design haha - perhaps my former selves existed without material things... It all makes sense now :)

You are always 10 steps ahead of me Vickey :D I probably need my own cabin in the woods to find myself. I totally don't know how I became a conformist. Love ya - thank you x
