pulling strings

trying to please
if only as friends
hard to do
with lost faith
the kids,
the dog,
taking tolls
paying prices
if one only knew
what can not be
not turning back
clock not reset
back to when
pull the string back.

This got me to thinking about books somehow . . . turning pages, but the ink is always permanent . . .
I guess we have to keep turning pages . . .

ok Ed
took me a minute on your reply
but yea moving forward means turning the pages to new
where i state that please unless you mean it don't pull the string to come back
those pages have already history

but oh you know that all to well

thanks for reading..

some strings are tightly
attached

pulling them
can cause a bit
of pain

but pulling
is necessary

Enjoyed reading this poem from the top down--and from the bottom up! Veeeery interesting!
