An Endless Loop

Silence

To hear my muse

Who's been trying to

Get my attention

But failing.

For my mind is

Somewhere else.

Seeking out

That elusive Zen spot

Between the body

And the soul.

Knowing

It exists.

But

Just out of reach

Every time

I try.

Like a four leaf clover

You could have sworn

To have seen it

At this very spot

Just a moment

Ago.

Being so close

And yet

So far away

From success.

Wanting to cry

In abject frustration

Over another failure

But knowing

Tears won't bring me

Any closer.

Once more

I try

As a soft sigh

Is release.

A lot of truth and pain in this. Feeling the futility and frustration.

Will trade you, one futility and frustration, for a moment of peace, KL. And thanks, for the corrections.

I was drawn to this from the title - endless loop - in computer programming usually a fatal flaw in the programmers methodology.
No use throwing out the whole program - we just debug.
I got the frustration here so vividly Therisa

[therisa]

Thank you, Anto, for your kind words. For some reason, this title, just resonated, with me.

[ANTO]

You're welcome Therisa :)

Sad but still not enough to give up hope. If at first you don't succeed....you know.

[therisa]

But my poor head has a splitting headache, Will, from banging against the wall. Maybe tomorrow, will be, a good day to try again.

So frustrating when the same outcome plays out time and again.
Good job Therisa

[therisa]

Thank you, Ana. Once heard someone say; insanity is, trying the same thing over and over, while expecting a different outcome. Some times think, I am trying to do, the insane.

[Matching Socks]

Einstein wasn't it? The definition of insanity...

[therisa]

Not sure, have to look it up, Ana.

[Matching Socks]

I'm pretty sure. :)

[therisa]

Its attributed to Einstein, but no real proof, he did, actually, say it, Ana.

[Matching Socks]

True, I mean I certainly wasn't around to hear him say it! :)

[therisa]

Neither, was I, Ana. Then again, most people on the WC, weren't either, would be, a safe bet.
