Running Around In Circles

Keep asking. Seems like you are not on the same side of the moon here. Very deep & powerful words. 'I'd been down the deepest valleys' got me a bit emotional. Needs to be sung as a rock ballad.  
Someone like Leona Lewis might be able to tackle it.

Thank you, I actually struggled to end this one because it just seemed... like the threads were loose. It’s nice to have another set of eyes see it, and give such nice comments. Thanks for the read, Snaggy, as well as the moving comment❤️

It ends perfectly, like you're gonna die if you stop asking the questions. I guess when you give up asking, you accept the loss perhaps?

Perhaps. I never was a quitter though😛

That third stanza sets the stage for such an astute paradigm shift, LivDiane. You've touched on the perspective of all sentients across the planet.

Ahavati, goddess, I’m honored you’ve graced my poem with your kind words. Thank you for the read and the beautifully worded comment❤️

The sense of loneliness , desperation and time running out raises the tension each stanza ... Beautiful expressed ... We're all on the same side on this ball ... Bless and love ...

Thank you, Alan. Seems this is all I can write about these days :) as always, thank you for the read and the lovely comment, always appreciated.

for now ... just think of it as needed fuel for the fire ... Bless and love ... .

I have a picture in my mind of a lone wolf lying under a fir tree, legs kicking, eyes flickering dreaming like dogs do. A nightmare of the planets end as it turns into Mars. I really like this poem as you can read it on so many levels is it a literal interpretation or a metaphor for loneliness. There are so many other ways to interpret. Excellent ink as always :-))))))))))))))))

Always seems like nightmares will never end. I loved your take on it, David. I’m always happy to here my works being received well. Thank you, as always, for the read and the kind comment❤️

again you have given me the inspiration to put pencil to paper - writing hopefully a comedic poem about what dogs dream about, what their hopes for the future are etc,.....

Oh I’m so happy I could inspire! Hope to read it soon :)

The repeating notions of "running around in circles" and differing lines about the moon (especially "Do we see the same side of the moon?") carry the reader through the poem in a great way. Really nice.

Thank you, I was worried it might’ve been too repetitive. Had to play around with those a bit before I felt it was post worthy. Thank you for the read and the comment, Josh! ❤️

Thank you, BP, for the read and the sweet comment :)

Made me think of a dream of pursuing the one you are interested in, maybe even you love.  But like a dream, you feel like you are on a treadmill never getting closer but you also can’t stop. Enjoyed your work.

Yes, very much so, Leo! Thank you for the read and the comment❤️
