Tossing the thoughts!

 

 

The coin flipped high…

Dazzling the curious eyes

Revolving…

Somersaulting…

And

Fell on the ground..

Twirled

With a clank…

A toe dancer!

 

He gazed-

 

If tail-

He

Had a tale!

 

And Head!

So,He

Moved ahead…

 

After all,

It’s a game!

 

He-

 

A dreamer by birth…

dreams- Aliyah!

 

A coin- a cachet for

Winning

And

Losing…

 

But

Each time, the loss

Escorted him…

 

Loss-

The only laurel wreath

of

the bankrupted mind…

 

No one lose

No one win!

 

Losers-

The valiant winners!

 

He march forth-

With a coin-

 A Head!

To be the Winner-

Of the lost game!

True

I very much like the thought at the end, the notion of being a winner in a lost game. THAT is arch! I secretly dread that kind of win, also. But then winning in a winning game is not always desirable either. And so we muddle along, not quite winning and never quite losing either.

Wow! I was was lost in those thoughts!! Wonderful poem:)

[Kanchan Ojha "Eureka"]

Tossed with those THOUGHts...!!

[Kenneth The Poet]

Wrestling with the very nature of duality I see. A practically perfect piece.

It transports one into a world of chance, a game we all play even though we may not realize it.

Lovely imagery.
Thanks.

[Rene Velez]

Well written and philosophical, a wise piece indeed.
