Can we ever experience too many wakeup calls?

Movement Resting
Red wagon wheels in the snow
Awaiting warmer interval
Knows time will invite
Surroundings to relax
Unlock its frozen shackles
Freeing movement again
How easily we fault these cyclic forces
Nature merely managing chronology
Creating allowance
Choice
Necessity
Faith
Trust
Awe
Like circular motion that is endless
Existence in perpetuity accepts no end
You
Me
Wagon wheels
Water
Rocks
Are merely its flux
Control is not ours
Like our blood flow
Nature's momentum
Will be where it needs to be
Do what it needs to do
In this ever changing infinity
We are but students of
Unfortunately
Man invented the invisible prison
"We are the chosen ones"
A delusional security blanket
An anomaly only servile ignorance
Adopts
Clings to
And finally
Succumbs to
In Goliath's world
Such clouded reality
Ignores spring thaws
When frozen wagon wheels
Embrace liberation
Await innocence
Not yet entrapped
Shortly will come
A child's joyful discovery
Gently tugging loose
Winter's hesitant release
Accepting movement needed its rest
But only for a little while
