The Periphery of Madness
Sometimes I feel
that life
is a process
of waking up
of realizing
that the coincidences of fate
aren’t merely happenstance
that one moment rolls into the next
that you and I
were always meant to meet
at precisely the moment
that we met
I feel that the times I fell
were not
my final failures
but were
the fiery kiln
from which my self emerged
A myopic view
will capture only a part
But the wholeness that is
our life
only appears from a distance
from a vantage point that you and I create
when two hearts beat
on the periphery of madness
Do you hear it?
