A Lonely Cog
01/20/2019


I want to take credit for all my successes
And blames others for my failures
Not realizing that while I was the final connection
The whole world played a part in the end result
So many acts have to align for a successful result
Whereas only one act, even unbeknownst,
Can derail and crush all efforts
Remembering that we are but a lonely cog
In this vast and eternal wheel of chance
So while we rejoice, lest not forget.

Primrose

I walk alone.
My head heavy with everything
That’s worth nothing.

I search for simplicity,
But it’s here in you:
In your closet concentric pentagons
Fixing the succulent fire of Spring,
In your five pure petal hearts,
In your hidden song to the sun.

I see the bright joy of rebirth,
The exuberant energy of renewal.
I enjoy the creative grace of the divine.

You give me peace within.
