1886 Coventry Rotary Quadracycle for two ~ en.wikipedia.org
No matter how
many times we fall
twirling a millage (mph)
moving in a blurry maze
a weak of
trying to catch/reach
the target or
run from counterfeit
obstacles
groan in absurd
to absorb
déjà vu of the lesson
in. the. circle.
the truth within.
It’s worth
to get up
starting over,
and try to roll/cross
on the other surface,
raise over prejudice
meet other folks,
faces,
lend helping hand.
Playing solo? – for while,
the world rests
on the shoulders of
more than one.
There's much depth in this I like.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laurie!
DeleteAnd I always thought that Atlas bore the world on his shoulders alone!
ReplyDeleteYes, but he was a god, immortal and still was paired with Phoebe. ~ Thanks.
DeleteI'd actually never given much thought to how much in life you can compare cycling to... This is thought provoking!
ReplyDeleteFiguratively...we ride bicycles all life...arbitrarily/and not changing the speed, destination and sometimes the bike...~ Thank you.
DeleteYep, so many times we fall down but we have to get back up and not stop to frown
ReplyDeleteYeah, just get up and move again!
Deleteaw this beautiful. I also heard the old ditty in my head "Daisy daisy give me your answer true when looking at your picture
ReplyDeleteAh, love your insightful comment, Sheilagh!

DeleteBi-cycle, not uni or solo or tri---yes, get up, get on try another, move forward with gusto and curiosity. You work this in a unique and interesting way, not leaving us free to make do and groan. Weak, I guess, is what we get for playing it safe.
ReplyDeleteYeah, playing safe - this is often happen while talking about acting. ~ Thanks for the prompt, an inspirational poems and words! :)xx
DeleteWhat a cool photo. I have one of my mom, aged three on a similarly old fashioned one that looks way too high and tippy for a small child to be on. I like the message about getting back up and, at the end, that the world rests on the shoulders of more than one. Thank heavens!
ReplyDeleteIt's important to stay open for new! Thank you, Sherry! :)xx
