Nobody knows when
love will roll in and
waltz with your crippled
soul.
Nobody knows when
the chickens will come
home, or when the dog
will have its day.
I heard of a place where
silence blossoms into
flowers of wisdom, but
when I ask for directions,
nobody knows.
I taste the sadness of
the sky in every poisoned
drop of rain.
I was born to swallow it.
To be consumed by the
gray expanse.
I ask for the antidote,
the cure.
Nobody Knows.
What happened to the
street signs, the picket fences,
all the love and empty spaces?
People play games, and only
traces of humanity remain.
How do I pull the cord on
this parachute?
Nobody Knows.

Each stanza presents a puzzlement begging to be solved, but without resolve. Questions to which we have no answers, a very powerful and reflective piece my friend!
Thank you so much.
How deeply profound and dignified, I'd pull that cord once I knew I was where I wanted to be. 🌹 Beautiful soul my friend. 🌹
Thank you, sweet Teddy.
That does seem to be the most common answer to most questions now days. (nobody knows) a good read
Thank you, my friend.
You are welcome Thomas
Very nice
Thank you.
Great piece. Somebody knows, but where's the percentage in letting you know? Gotta be a profit in it........
Exactly. Thanks, my friend.
A very poignant write, in a world where increasingly no one has the answers, enjoyed the read
