word games with a little time thrown in

count to ten again, start the thoughts
begin at the end, count from 10
how time, turning and turning
begin at the end that starts again
a silly game of words with words
one says the more and one the less
the walls grow higher, thicker, stronger
the heart is just another brick.

what we have learned blooms and grows:
blossoms of loneliness turning to wants
we turn our eyes from the void of emotions:
desires burning in the apathy of distance
(snakes lay their eggs in a bed of thorns
yet turtles return to their place of origin)
And I ask myself often,
where is it that I started,
when did the heart burn bright?
which is the point to return to?
which is the goal?
Yet another game of words.
