Infinity Eight
An abstract poem on loops, cycles and life lessons
Eight loops around again
Bringing with it trials, tribulations and brief rewards
Cold and unforgiving
Every act addressed and accounted for
Action and reaction
What karmic response does Eight have in store?
With a mane-sporting Mars and a water goat Moon
Fire burns the heart and Earth grounds the mind
Struggling to stay in tune
An instrument unique, one-of-a-kind
The Eight path — supposedly lined with riches, success, glory
Power, prestige and recognition — the main theme of the story
But, is it so? It appears not
A path fraught with rejection, loss and deadlock
Seems to be the true plot
Eight loops around again, the ribbon getting tighter
Bringing back with it lessons, insight and knowledge
Saturn follows suit, its rings restricting movement, lessening mileage
So one can reflect, learn from past mistakes
If ignored, you just may lose your grip on the gates
Fall into the abyss and back onto the Wheel
So “Take note,” Saturn says
Brush yourself off, stay on the path and let your journey begin
“Before you get stuck in the loop again.”
