Quantum Carousel

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

[Verse]

I blink and the sky turns red

Was it blue or was I misled

A second ago

I swear I was whole

Now I’m split across the folds

[Chorus]

Round and round the quantum carousel

Spin the wheel

Where it stops I can’t tell

Am I here

Am I there

Am I free

Or just a shadow of the me I used to be

[Verse 2]

Steps I take dissolve like rain

Futures shift

They never explain

A streetlight hums

A neon glow

Am I the one who’s lost or the one who knows

[Prechorus]

Every thread

A silver thread

Every choice

A life I’ve led

[Chorus]

Round and round the quantum carousel

Spin the wheel

Where it stops I can’t tell

Am I here

Am I there

Am I free

Or just a shadow of the me I used to be

[Bridge]

Time’s a trickster

Plays a game

I’m the pawn

It shifts my name

Echoes of myself collide

But which one gets to survive
