Oscillation

The Poem and the Pendulum

By Christian PetersonPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Oscillation.

A pendulum swing.

the trough and crest

that cradle and pummel

the shipwrecked sailor

as he fights for breath:

or

the intertwining, coinciding

result of a pulse - a thing

created by the Creator

Though many beg to differ

using the X's and Y's of man's interpretation.

can't divided beliefs, like sound waves,

pass through one another without such separation?

So

what do we know?

The ups and downs of man's evolving revelation

our ups and downs

physical and speculation

a tug of war:

Oscillation.
