Confess My Sins

I walk the line as thin as hair
and at the end wonder what is there
at times I leave to spread my wings
just to feel the ever tug of my strings
and come back to another lesson to learn
I expect this is my judgment as I yearn
will life give me credit in relief
another side to this story is my belief
and to rebuild in timbers understand
to replace one built upon the sand

"I am living a life, i have no wish to live. How did this happen?" Unknown

Such depth here. Yes I believe we need to learn and to learn once again ...

I know those strings too
I keep scissors in my pocket just in case
I love this style on you Helen

It's ok to build on the sand, really is...as long as you know what you're building, and why. It can even be an advantage in an earthquake zone like mine -- damps 'em out as well as anything there is, and never liquefies....

I like to come back later and read you again.
It is like the taste of fine, rich cheese . . .

If your poetry is any indication, you get better with age.

They say that confession is good for the soul!

I do know this, your confession was good for those who read it!

--and remember, if you build a new house out of timbers, make sure you don't build it right on the beach! lol
