Gyroscope Poem by Laurence Overmire

Gyroscope

Rating: 5.0


To get to the truth
You must transcend words

You must transcend
Consciousness itself

Allow what is underneath
That great unknowable Hidden

To take what voice it will
And make the world

Spin on the fulcrum of its axis
The riddle burning in the center of

Its hot, molten
Core.
