In The Game.

Goldfinch60



Our life is like a deck of cards,

We get dealt them at the start

And need to play those cards.

Sometimes you win and move on,

Sometimes you lose and fall back.

But always remember

No matter what happens to your cards

You are always in the game.

    Some are even ON the game.

    This deck of cards analogy really does fall in with belief in reincarnation where each hand of cards we are dealt upon rebirth is based upon gaining the wisdom to find the path to Nirvana.

    R.I.P. Gary Brooker writer of the timeless 'whiter shade of pale'

      Thank you d a, yes rebirth can be where wisdom in each life takes us.

      That song certainly is a classic, I assume like me it has been with us all our lives.

        Oh yes, 1967 the summer of love... back in those days of number ones where whiter shade of pale was everywhere for much longer than it's seven weeks holding that accolade. Still a magic sound fifty five years later.

            so true
            one more Dawn
            offers another round
            and whether it be
            at our life's 'Turn' or 'River'
            we need to survive, to see
            if we can make a Royal Flush
            out of the crumbs
            we've been dealt, in life...
            (how well you utilised
            your Poetry's, anchoring metaphor
            a great shorty, Andy
            thanks for keeping that flag of hope, evergreen
            and raised, firmly High)

            • Goldfinch60

              That flag of hope is always with me Mek. Thank you for your kind words.

              EXACTLY! Life is one game of poker! We're dealt what we're dealt and we can't get upset but just learn how to distribute them effectively. Love the optimistic message the last line possesses! ✨

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you Rocky, much appreciated.
