*Polish a coin until it shines A coin it still remains Scratch the surface, smash the matter on the tracks And yet the etching still ingrained Flattened to the edge of flat So the world around remains As a coin which flips is falling fast With fate less interchanged No bounce determines forward path Which wasn't first ordained Mere steadfast midst matters of the past For we all in life break change*

Life As A Coin
*Polish a coin until it shines A coin it still remains Scratch the surface, smash the matter on the tracks And yet the etching still ingrained Flattened to the edge of flat So the world around remains As a coin which flips is falling fast With fate less interchanged No bounce determines forward path Which wasn't first ordained Mere steadfast midst matters of the past For we all in life break change*
Just started writing on a whim and the reference made me think of an old acquaintance from a former life. Ember Nickle.
