I'Ll Try
Slowing down
inside
slowly
Whirling wheels
spokes run backwards
Stillness still
repels
Imagination still
tells stories
draining fuel cells
Rearrange
what matters
on the open top
of time
Wasting it
contradicts
the flywheel in my mind
But it’s slowing
and the only fear left standing
may be of wheels
rolling on again
Stress thorn.
Your smile
successfully
beguiles
a victim
willingly impaled
struggling weakly
to escape
runs it deeper
till it fades
and leaves a lasting scar
What was that for?
Perhaps I understand
love’s power
a little more
So blind
this mind
cannot retain a fraction
of the truth explained
So light my way
Spirit at my side
Leave it to me, you say
and I’ll try
