Everyday Karma
Douglas S Johnson

Through a turmoil
-Not tactile-
Nor audible-
Nor visible-
But a mire
Fashioned and forming
Around the center
Of the essential,
We trek
Our regular rounds.
Through the daily
Dredge and dreck
We plunge forward
In endless spirals
Of screaming
Inanities,
Unable to hear
The soothing
Undersound.
We revel
In what is lost
And ever losing,
Not knowing
That ceaseless birth
Is the most painful
For all:
Both birthed
And birthing
Ever unaware
That the sun's
Triumph Lies in its darkening,
That a flower glories
In its own
Falling petals.
