The Other Side of the Circle
The overwhelming concept here
stays in the mind,
dragging it away from loved
depression and into something less
sinister. in the perfect symmetry
at work here, it is possible
to see all the things
you may have thought abandoned you
and become awake for the sleeping
things so desired by man.
And the beauty in the similarity
may just overpower this fatal flaw
and bring life where one would find death.
