Cage Of Earth
It’s perfect irony
so many years beautiful to you
         I learn to sing the sweetest harmony
         only now to discover the mirror
         and time lost
         as my face grows dark.

It’s what I deserve,
I tell myself,
because I can’t accept
         there is no reason,
         while seeking truth
         and meaning in everything
to have semblance of balance.

Accept that life is random?
         in a perfect realm
         spinning about cylindrical fire?
measuring hours
and days evenly until I die,
         which I hadn’t though much about
until now?

I discover a voice weakening
in this inevitable cage of earth.
         Purpose long lost rusts.
         Life doesn’t come back
for its youth.

25 lines unmeasured free verse

hah! balance, take that!
