ALL THE KNOTS

A POEM by: Fernando de Mello Pimentel

I’m here in this very spot
staring at what I’ve got.
Can’t connect the dots,
until I untie all the knots.

Many battles I’ve fought.
More than you would’ve thought.
Some I’ve won, some I’ve lost.
All at a considerable cost.

All those knots!
They’re so many, I lost count.
Untie them all? Maybe not.
It’s quite a large amount.

But this is what life’s all about.
There’s no easy way out.
So why kick, scream and shout?
Failure, like success, is nobody’s fault.
