I follow my own footsteps
always walking in circles
but I can't find the point
- - - or the reason
I go over old ground
- going round - ever round
obsessing the debate
getting nowehere.
Do we share the same demons
that mock from the shadows
- is that our shared birthright
do we share the same fate
- - do you walk in circles
then I'll walk right behind you
one day I'll catch up -
one day we'll relate.
As I read this poem I was reminded of my own time spent walking in circles which has beset me more since I was retired. I was idling my time away and felt the need to be occupied. A syndrome many suffer from after a long and busy working life. I now learn languages, improving my Spanish, brushing up on my German and am about to embark on Italian. This may or may not answer your dilemma but it solved my 'circles'.
An interesting poem
Thanks
Keith

I am impressed at how busy and clever you are, it certainaly beats
making jams and jellies. - Sadly I walk in circles behind my estranged son with no surety of renewed contact. Thank for your very interesting comments - I love the way poems can spark different thought trains in different people.
