Vortex of Thought

Within the gyre of life self-centered,
Spins mental debris long since splintered.
This maelstrom of memories stretches and lengthens
Until a breaking point is reckoned.
Do bad dreams, and sins forgotten,
Lurk in minds long roiled and rotten?
And where is the relief from nocuous nightmares,
Vexing romances, and unanswered prayers? 
When does the circle of life bring closure,
And will it end in full disclosure?
Life is too short for questions long.
And it should not end like a tragic song.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts, wisdom-filled through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Thank you. Several other people have commented on my unique poetic style, which has arisen during the past three years. I have written poems using several styles, but I seem to be defaulting to the one used in this poem. I also do believe in God. How God expresses him (or her) self is both cryptic and unique.
