The Wedge (Revised) Poem by Pablo Cruise

The Wedge (Revised)

Rating: 5.0


The Wedge

Tapered edges opposed in form
A mordant face to drive it home
The wedges edge a choice, unforgiving
In practiced hands the gain a given
With every issue the effect profound
In failing sought to further comfort
That core once solid, strong and proud
Now, bares the wounds that time allowed
Those fissures raw, exposed relations
Only the passing of seasons and occasions
Remind the wedges deep division
Only the eye to recognize the reason
On reflection the memory is all that pursues
Distance the comfort between us two
With splintered pieces the tone digress
The wedge falls silent in cold regress
Whose face to shine a job, become
Whose shame to bear the damage done?

Wedges came to my mind for carpentry purposes and spliting things in life.

The symbolism is clear. Human mind is like that. The world is like that. We can't blame the world for its wayward ways. If we want to save ourselves, the only way is to retune our outlook towards life. Everything is a question of attitude. A good composition
