Spinning like a top
Constantly in motion
edges moving faster
Slowly moves the core
If I would stop
I would fall
Fearful of not spinning
Afraid, of being ‘me’ no more
On pointed end
I hang in balance
Forever in pursuit
drilling through the floor
Force of the chord
would eventually expire
inevitable would happen
Spinning top would spin no more
With the last wobble
The top falls
It lays down on its sides
No longer on its toes
As I lay down calm
Spining no more
My being was still
Closer to my core
Beautifully expressed.
The last few lines made me realise that time has come to relax and be calm and enjoy the beauty of nature.
