Loose Ends

Can't try to escape they reach out and grab you wanna go someplace else and leave it all behind you But you can't and even if you did they are always one step behind you Loose ends are meant to be tied sometimes the knots slip but we can say that we tried Life is full of unanswered questions A mainstay of life is to learn it's lessons We learn and move on and it remains the same Do we give up or continue playing life's little games?

Adam, your poem Loose Ends is admirable -highly philosophic. I agree with you when you say "Life is full of unanswered question". As Vince has said in his comments "Some people never learn." Thanks for your encouraging words about my poem Loyalty.

HI Adam. Good write, but some people never learn. We are still going to war as we did 2000 years B.C. Thnaks for your comments. Extreme liberalism or conservatism is wrong. I bet if both sat down and talked, a lot more could be done. Glad to see you back and posting. God Bless. Vince

So true. The question at the end leaves the reader with something to think about. Yes, and some times those knots do slip but we have to keep on trying. This is an insightful piece. Keep up the good writing! Karen

That's a good question you posed at the end. Life is one big running around in circles, it seems. Very good point you made.

Hmm...interesting question at the end. Perhaps there is an in between? Not good to give up, and playing games, well, that's just not real. Thought provoking write here. Seems like something is catching up with you. Good luck. Great write! Love, Shar
