Life in Contemplation

Nursing sore hip

Tripped on mound’s hip

Of spent life’s grainy drip

 

Eyeballed life

As it toyed, playing

Cat mouse with me

 

Two protagonists

Trying to best

One another

 

I now witness

My physicality

In life’s duality

 

Ignominies happen

Not to me, in rehash

Only to this heap of ash

 

Spiritedly I pray

Let my wits stay

In this power play

 

Life thinks it’ll best me

I think I’ll outwit it

Enlightened in spirit

 

Time will tell

Who felled..

First fell
