At least 24 lines- Remember, do not use forbidden words ANYWHERE, including title or the brief description. Mobius A particle, minute in and of itself, a breath, a grasping of inhaled existence is inherent in forward motion. The paradox is that often, to progress, one must, indeed, fall backward. No pause button, no freeze frame except in memory and often, not even then for the moment is colored by perception. A blurred spin, a slide ways step into choices, split moment decisions splashing in multicolored puddles, ripples spiraling out then vanishing into smooth surface reflecting what? Stages set, a juncture poised then lost in confusion, for the mind cannot always process what is sees: observation is key to unlocking the enigma. Emit a voice into the void, whether song or bubbled laugh: sound waves travel to the edges of our personal universe, wrapping around, cycling back, echoing into tomorrow. |
