* The Wheel *

*A common theme,* a thread, a seam. It seems, dreams awake, aware, a shake, astir, a blur, a slur, *the cur*.. **_Which version do you prefer?_** ride on, wild coyote, claim your inner *beast*, and inner further to calm your inner peace.. A simile, I suppose.. like *a metaphor for prose*. **Strong** like *lightning*, *quick* like a **sparrow**, **discordant** as *fighting*, and as **_wide_** as *narrow*.. An arrow through the heart of those who *believed*... who *perceived* that this life was anything else. **_fleeting_** beating, bleating and **bleeding**. **_Dying_** is better than not, or rather, **Death** is. For it becomes *the yardstick* to gauge it's opposite... A *Stark __Contrast__*, like *black on white*, *up* from *down*, **day** to *night*.. Wrong or *Right?* ![life death.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZbVLb5k8sd9MvfJPPccP9zSdodjVAXJMitp7SncbWeta/life%20death.jpg) [src](https://www.amazon.com/Mother-Contrast-Forest-Design-Bedroom/dp/B07H1XLQCM) *This is Part Two of a stream of consciousness writing series.
