Shuffling...

Shuffling thoughts...

Shuffling...

If only I could shuffle my thoughts as fast as a
blackjack dealer,

God knows I'm losing my mind as fast as the
poor dummies losing their money huddled around
those unforgiving tables,

The house always wins but I'm not even playing
I'm just trying to figure out what my next big move
in life is going to be and what I'm willing to lose,

So I'd better keep shuffling for now but soon I'm
going to have to cut the deck and gamble a little
bit,

I sure pray that this time my gamble is
worth the payoff, cause gambling on life and love
can really hurt in this crazy casino called life...

Agree with your thoughts.. but there again, not speaking of actual gambling but life: perhaps we have to take chances in order to discover our strengths and weaknesses. OK, there's always the chance of falling by the wayside, and, so cruel, how painful is that. But, to try climbing a mountain but only eaching the top of a hill, is better than just looking at it, surely?

Forgive me, but your finely tuned poem, the metaphorical aspect of it, immediately set me thinking and i imagine a deep thinker is satisfied by that.
