Out of Options (a conundrum)

I couldn't see beyond the moment
I was at a complete standstill
I had to settle something and couldn't
the situation was out of my hands
just a ghostly remembrance in my mind
how could it ever be resolved when
the other player had opted out
hard to explain how someone is
still there, but not there for recognition
the mind becomes  a weary traveler
when it can't make the necessary points
an unfinished sentence hangs in mid air
perhaps it will never be completed
how does a life continue if it's caught in
the mystery of an undefined moment
they say you can always start over again
but what if you have run out of options

etw

Unlike the last rater' I won't presume to lecture you on 'your' take of running out of options! I'm sorry, but other read ones work and seem to think that it's their unelected job to tell you what 'your' poem means.lol.. I am different. I'll just say..I liked it very-very much" keep writing.

Well there are always options, it's just that sometimes they all stink. Undefined moments or not, life trudges forward. Being true to yourself will help you make the best of what transpires. Patrick

Potent musing on a theme with a different ending for each of us. Hurrah for the courage you show in leaving some things to the reader's discretion.

There are certainly times in my life that I wish I could start over again... but how many times are there that we truly can start over again? I figure that those are the times in life that create depth to our character and add empathy to our souls...

I see you used that word conundrum... hee, hee... :~)

Eileen, the only time you run out of options is when you stop believing in yourself...powerful writing.

Can't answer it any better than what Dawn has said. Tomorrow is always full of surprizs as long as we keep hope alive in our hearts.

Eileen, I like this a lot. There are those times when we feel that we have run out of options...and for the moment, we may have. But then, I think, it's time to take a deep breath and to step back just a bit to take another look at the situation...and move forward...in whatever way is best. Sometimes thinking of others first is a good thing...and other times, I think it's time to put self first!

YOu are the option always, as long as you excist as Georg said, and since it is in eternity, your mind is only playing the usual tricks.

You may think you have run out of options, my friend Eileen, but you have, but you have NOT run out of YOU, therein lies the option you seek.
