Worth

Worth

Each action has a consequence, we say
So, should we have a little self control?
Now then, would each enterprise be delayed? 
The ultimate fallout somehow unfolds 
An importance, a moment seems but lost
Strange thoughts intruding, optimal refrain.
Frozen time - fueled with undiluted cost
of never ending circles: round again.
Climb high, to achieve smallest gold medal  
Swing further down, feel pressured winds blowing
Keep on moving, spin faster those pedals,
Perspiration beads, rosy cheeks glowing.
Or did consequence cause the reaction?
Fueling beast, for a damn good retraction.

Now, this is a thought provoking one. It does feel sometimes that everything is on repeat, you only have too look at any class of kids in any given era... bet you'll same bullies, same shy kids, same people pleasers and so on...all in different body's yes, but there is a pattern. I don't know if we really have choice, it appears we have a choice but maybe any choice we make is pre designed  to be the right one anyway?
Who knows. I have got to an age where I think none of it matters anyway, all the struggle, achievements, dissapoinments? 
The gruelling repeat of it all...we die ultimately and leave it all behind anyway. 
In billions of years our sun will die, taking the earth with it...it will be as if man had never ever existed at all. Warning!!! Please don't read after the first line it will depress you 🙃🙂🤩 X

So glad to have found this one Lorna and please forgive  my lateness here.
A real rinse, wash repeat of a poem in today's modern climate.
The hamster on the wheel making the same old revolutions and repeating the same old mistakes.
Like an offset weighing scale and one is trying to find a balance.
A delicate act.
Just like life and its myriads thrown at you, forever learning and dare say, forever losing.
C'est la vie.
Superb sonnet writing yet again and full honours to you my friend :) x.
