Repeating

every day is a turn
to risk too much or not enough

every moment i am aware
i cry, i laugh, i hear, i hide

once is simply not enough
it takes me too long to learn

i repeat the same movement
i mouth the same words

i do not remember
doomed to repeat my mistakes

i revealed to you my deepest secrets
you held me hostage with your love

how could we let each other move
in the opposite direction
thinking it would be better with someone else

how we are fooled by our own selfish needs
but i am learning, learning to let go

understanding that repeating the lesson -
old and new - is life..

I guess the point is to keep repeating until you get it right. Wishing you well! Enjoyed this.

We live, and hopefully we learn from life's lessons. Some of them I have repeated a few times ~ guess we can sometimes be gluttons for punishment!

Tomorrow is a new day! A clean slate! Write something on it that will make you happy!

I think you are much wiser than you realize, my friend!

'Tis a new season! 'Tis a time for new beginnings!

Warm, comforting hugs,

So good to read you here again SG...
The structure around this golden thought is so beautiful. And I think sometimes, that the repeating lessons are both to learn and to teach. Our purpose is multi faceted.

My, my, SimplyGold, how true this is. If we could only learn. I liked this poem and can identify with it myself in lessons I have had to learn and relearn.
