Life is easier in the doing than the thinking.
Did you ever have a time in your life when the ages of your life were switching back and forth, oscillations all over the place? I have! Past returning again and again, mid years tumbling over each other, today a sort of happenstance..
Time circling, head reeling
Panoramas bending in
Where did I lose my timing?
Before, after, synchronize!
Spinning in a daze of might-have-beens
Where is the middle way?
Years flashing, streaking, blurring
Over and over, one more time
Pennies dropping, arrow hovering
Lead ball closing in.
Sea grass tumbles in the evening sun
Wet roots, clammy with potential.
Shall I double down on the red today
Or hope against hope for a black?
The colors are running, the dye is cast
Just one more quarter turn!
Time circling, head reeling
Panoramas bending in
Where did I lose my timing?
Before, after, synchronize!
Spinning in a daze of might-have-beens
Where is the middle way?
Years flashing, streaking, blurring
Over and over, one more time
Pennies dropping, arrow hovering
Lead ball closing in.
Sea grass tumbles in the evening sun
Wet roots, clammy with potential.
Shall I double down on the red today
Or hope against hope for a black?
The colors are running, the dye is cast
Just one more quarter turn!
