Why should the wheel
of perpetual change
seem so strange?
It’s only turning.
And if the cause
of all to each
Is to be taught,
and to teach,
Then I am learning.
I take pride in this invention,
It leaves a lasting impression.
The bone of my contention.
The essence of my confession.
My how the leaves
have greened
In ardent ardor.
Tooled and machined,
as Spring rains
fall harder.
Somewhere in the ambiance,
my heart waits in stillness.
A mystical science
that bids my heart fullness.
What vivid alchemy
wells within this sensation;
Like lightning inside of me–
an electrical creation.
