wonder systems

some days they just jumble
you, and you awhelk beneath the waves
get whelmed & whelmed and tumble
to a clipped unsteady flight
in circles, returning to the fight
because it seems that's all that is,
what it is to be. as ever the only way out
is through, but since you need a new
dimension: choose care.
now don't get me wrong, all you need
isn't love, and peace shouldn't
be left to chance; the fight is what is,
a struggle against. but care
is always ready to surprise you,
and both finding and unwrapping it
dull the crushing roar
while staying the path.
remember:
what matters
is to ease suffering while we're here.
