A thought

A thought

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg

A thought has been in my mind for years now.
Walking aimlessly back and forth.
Moving from the front to the back of my mind.
But always there.
It's a question.
And it has no answer?
It longs to be answered.
I long for the answer.
But it will never come?
It came so quick.
This nagging.
This pain.
All of it for nothing.
Years of my life where this thought wandered.
It longs to be free.
But can it ever be.
Ever, be free!
There is an answer.
It came so quick.

Author's Note

Dennis Shanaberg
This was another journal type piece. More just me getting some emotion out. And not really worrying about aesthetics.

This is something I can entirely relate to. That irritating thought niggling at you for years on end; to finally be released and that sheer disapointment. Wondering if really, would have it have been better to never know?
A nicely done piece, thought provoking and curious.

I liked this a lot. Our emotion can come out in so many different ways. I believe answers to our questions come when we least expect them. Whether good or bad they help us move forward.

How nice to have "just one" thought bouncing about in your mind! My mind's a playground!! LOL!!! Seriously, I liked that poem very much; it was easy reading. Sometimes, the question is better than the answer, if you know what I mean.

I like this because all it takes is one simple thought. One thought can change a life or even a outcome. So true, nice work dude.

This was playful and snappy---I really enjoyed it. Your authors note makes alot os sense as it truly does read like a journal entry...I wish we could have seen your sketches or comments in the margins I bet they were ....unrequited as well.
