My attempt at writing a multi vocalist poem. A very accurate struggle. - 10/03/2026.


Fractal.

My wayward looking fool,
If only you had it in you.
Amidst my time,
I am lower than the ground -
Some say I've never been met;
In the end I'll be taken
And in the dust I'll go.
My warward looking fool,
Just forget,
Just come and run -
In the end it will catch us anyway.


My wayward looking fool,
Such a fractal are you.
Such as me. Such as you, too.


My wayward looking fool,
I guess we are beautiful.
Fare thee well,
We always wonder until the day -
Anyway, I've never been met;
I've been taken
And in the dust I have gone.
My wayward looking fool,
Just remember,
Just come and run -
In the end we will all be caught.

A deeply engaging chiastic verse on thought and truth.
Not having been met is such a state and also in the light of the end as profound as it is fleeting. What a paradox! 🕊️🙏🏻
