The Karmic Clock
a poem
we begin at the bottom
of the heavy pendulum
thoughts and deeds
take so long to return
.
but soon you will realise
as you begin the climb
the faster the clock ticks
and the sooner it chimes
.
so quickly that you may
suddenly change your mind
scared of what’s higher
and what you may find
.
but if you can keep
yourself ever so still
find the calm within you
choose peace over thrills
.
soon you will realise
sitting with time
that karma expires
as you balance your mind
.
your frequency rises
close to that chime
and there it’s revealed
all you ever longed to find

Prologue Today's post is short fiction in honor of all the hassled parents trying to keep their angsty teens in line. "Bye mum! I'm not coming home for lunch today. I'll be going to Mac's with Kelvin and his buddies before we head to his house to study for a test." With that, Adam Lim careened like the Flash out of his humble HDB abode.

your frequency rises close to that chime I remember us talking about that frequency many times! Your poem was so powerful!
What a wonderful metaphor you created with the pendulum! This is truly brilliant, Kayleigh!
I like this idea a lot! A sort of rising above what we thought we needed.. or at least that is what I’m getting from your piece. . 😀
Lovely little bit of philosophical inspiration from Ms Fraser! Well done, Kayleigh!
