If I was a circle I could roll
and play collecting grass;
I‘d travel all around the world,
visiting places, using no compass.

These thoughts were swirling in the mind
of a triangle equilateral
that imitated the humans around it
who always want a self that’s collateral.

A circle was rolling in another page of the notebook,
praying for getting stuck in an angle,
and it was thinking all the time
I could get some rest if I was a triangle.

The notebook was observing calmly
the wishes of the two unsatisfied shapes,
remembering the days when it wanted
to be a photo book of natural landscapes.

The pupil with the notebook
was trying to be like his dad,
and the teacher in the class of his
was dreaming about a University Chair.

Earth, the next bigger entity,
did not have any wish,
tuned to the frequency of “here-and-now”,
embracing both bliss and non-bliss.

wisely didn’t have any wish,
because it knows very well

Such a clever poem with a potent message. Loved it.

If I was a circle I could roll
and play collecting grass;
I‘d travel all around the world,
visiting places, using no compass.

Let me be a circle!! But alas - I am a mixed bag of shapes... on any given day wherever I am, whoever I am... in that moment of now.
Love your words...they spiral my senses.
Thank you for being you.
