The Circle of Life and the Wheel of Fortune roll in unison, sometimes synchronized, but occasionally out of kilter. We sense life speeding by, but remain static. Locked in combat with the passing days, attempting to slow the roundabout race in which time remains the passive victor, we are little more than cog or wheel.
With thanks to the creator of the image and to G-Man for the concept of 55 flashes.
Love the painting and the verse!!

Nice one Jinksy. I wonder why you chose to write your 55 out like that, rather than make 'poety' line breaks?
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Earth. Wind. Fire. Water. Words.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great way of putting it.
