The saddest puppet,
is the one with the tangle strings.
He holds nothing and nothing can hold him.
Manually he came to be,
his beauty was great indeed.
Colorful pieces of wood,
held his strings in a crosslike pattern.
He did good in the beginning.
But as time pass,
his strings interweaved with his laughter.
A knot it all came to be,
his hopes, his smiles, his dreams.
The saddest puppet,
is the one with the tangle strings.
He holds nothing and nothing can hold him.
He likes to pretend that he's okay.
But the more he tried, the worse it became.
His movements were awkward,
no grace did he had.
His crippled small body,
held back its true gold.
One day he decided,
to cut all his strings,
so that he can be as free as the wind.
But when he cut them,
he realized this,
he lost his own battle and even his will.

Walker~
I was reminded of that song lyric,
"I've got no strings to hold me up ..."

Poor little puppet !

walker---my friend, you lost me on this one. Tangled strings better than none, maybe?

I feel for the puppet, for he can be restrung, just like pearls are done. They glisten anew, as I hope you will too - and move about again. I enjoyed your poem. LP
