Poem – Fragile Rotation

Fragile

We are all

Like glass

Easily shattered

Life

Tumbles

Day in – Day out

We evolve

Revolve

Like the spinning door

Around and around we go

Our feet upon this Earth

Who knows?

How long?

We have

Is there life beyond?

A heaven

A hell

Who knows?

Like glass

We are all

Fragile

    Beautiful – reminds me of some poems I’ve written in the past – fragility is a common theme in some of my works.

      It can be a very good muse to work with because you can take so many different angles with it.

    I enjoyed this. We all do evolve and revolve on this earth…but I don’t know about feeling fragile. I will have to think about that for a while.

    ah so true…life is fragile…and once we get there we will know what is next….hopefully we evolve and revolve…getting a little better each day…

    Pondering life’s true meaning, questions passed down through the ages. Nicely captured.

    Matches Brian’s events of late. Indeed true.

      I thought it would fit perfectly with the post. We were suffering from a loss at the time I wrote it.

    Yes, we are so fragile…and so it’s important to live fully in the present moment.

      Yeah. I’ve really started to notice it since I became a dad – just how fragile life is.
