Life in the Cycle
At times I fly through my maze,
Not bothering to stop at the food dispensers
To secure a pellet of sustenance.
What use is sustenance anyways
In this repetitive, existential experience?
But new thoughts come when I get
to the beginning of the maze—Or is it the end?
Well, they’re not actually new anymore,
Since they come to me periodically,
But they seem new in that moment
Or at least they used to
Before I recognized the maze.
Is it time to hope or despair?
Right. Hope.
And so I find myself
Again
Feeling the warm presence of something more,
Letting my tears well up
As I watch my passion slip around the next corner,
Enjoying a pellet or two in obedience
To what seems like a higher path.
And in those moments
Transcendence seems imminent,
Until I come around the next corner
And find despair,
Shadowing the corners and the road.
So I pull my cloak around me
And stumble along
Turn by turn
Until I begin to feel the warmth again. |
