Unraveling Knots
A Poem on Making Difficult Decisions
Life has an annoying way of leaving us in knots. Unraveling them entails making difficult decisions, most of them less than pleasant.
What do we do to unravel them? We find out as much as we can about the circumstances, ask lots of questions, consider alternatives, and very importantly, trust your instincts.
Unraveling life's difficult knots (or any knot) is never a simple task, but we do what we must. Enjoy these verses,
Binding knot
Choking, Stifling
Closely entwined
Task to untie
Choking knot
Tight conundrum
Unraveled by fingers
in the know
Winding knot
Unwound
By constant
Question marks
Tight knot
Loosened
By scissors
That thump.
