Theme: Life cyclicalities

I was mesmerized by the sight—

Of how these wheels circle through,

On a massive rounded concrete,

While the above was full of scattered hues.

There were gigantic walls beside greenery,

A ball of heat was on their side;

Tried to flock in the middle of this plenary,

T'was a dreamy glimpse to show off.

Lines were parallel as a whole,

The symmetry of these rotations—

Reflected on the glass windows of my stroll,

I rammed into a life-strange motion.

This hefty path faced my steering wheel,

As I lost control while it kept spinning.

Its force has awoken my bones to kneel,

I fought with the mischievous swelling.

The hoary skin attached to me mirrored the light,

While my fixture stayed on the road—

And waited for another set of wheels to wander;

I took the courage to bridge over and last.
