Never ending
Samuel Wenzel
The constant, Never ending,
turmoil, yet tranquility
of the journey.
Of the trudge.
Trains, endless in nature
but we all know how the story goes.
Pains of the body
and of the mind;
of the heart
and of the soul.
Never ending as the stars in the sky.
“Just endure it!”
They exclaim.
Beaches. vast,
yet limited.
Sands of time,
all by myself, yet not alone.
One must learn to be solemn.
Never ending as the ocean.
“There’s plenty of fish in the sea!”
They repeat.
Madness, peace.
War, treaties.
Foes, companions.
The constant cycle,
grotesque but beautiful all the same.
Never ending as love.
“Have some grit!” They throw out
as a desperate
band-aid fix.
Shackles of entrapment and prisons of empty promises.
responsibilities of legacy and appearance.
cycles of oppression, words,
and the constant
drone.
Never ending,
like a train.
Freedom of cyclically
is the mangled garden of all;
one day.
