Notes About The Poem

"Cycle of War," image from freepik.com

THE WHEEL

THE WHEEL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dawn breaks, swords sleep in rusted sheaths. children laugh where trenches scarred the earth. new wheat grows beneath the sky's blue shroud. men sharpen blades before the next harvest moon.

The cycle of time seems to be a spinning object, similar to existence itself—a wonderful metaphor.

time is much like a wheel and so is life ~ great metaphor
