* The Wheel *

*A common theme,* a thread, a seam. It seems, dreams awake, aware, a shake, astir, a blur, a slur, *the cur*..

Which version do you prefer?

ride on, wild coyote,
claim your inner beast,
and inner further
to calm your inner peace..

A simile,
I suppose..
like a metaphor for prose.

Strong like lightning,
quick like a sparrow,
discordant as fighting,
and as wide as narrow..

An arrow
through the heart
of those who believed...
who perceived that this life
was anything else.

fleeting
beating,
bleating
and bleeding.

Dying
is better than not,
or rather, Death is.
For it becomes
the yardstick
to gauge it's opposite...

A Stark Contrast,
like black on white,
up from down,
day to night..
Wrong or Right?
