cut corners

~ Sonya Kassam

i cut corners
thinking to create circles
but only ended up
with more corners
infinite angles
embroidered into the whole
an intention wandered
till it was lost forever

***

my thoughts behind this poem:
what we try to avoid might end up multiplying
what we resist, shall only persist

[does karma recognise our intentions?]

  1. Dear Sonya,

    Thank you for this poem which, for this person, brought him to reflect on the futility of not accepting absolutely everything.

    All good wishes,

    robert
