Pattern Breaks

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Why did she not do today
whatever she did every day?
But then she did it again
and then once again….
till the breaks in pattern
formed a new pattern

Is it a black hole
Or a precipice?
Is it fear or rebellion
or just boredom arising
out of all things nice?

exceptions define the rule
then become the rule
only to refine the rule
systems inspired by
day and night
movement of planets
play of light

-a thunderbolt
-an earthquake
-volcanoes break
let lava flow
become a part of systems

what sustains the world
is raising questions
to craft a path ahead
-despite uncertainty
-despite ridicule
-be a beacon
not a mule
