The Giant Wheel

 As the dusk befalls the falling sun,

far beneath the gibbous glow,

sat a lad upon the winding stairs,

chasing glimpses of waning moon.


Amid a muse of dreams in concord gently spun,

he played the role enduring glow,

watching it rise beyond the upper airs,

unwitting, the seer glides below the climbing moon.


unaware a ceaseless ride borne,

the boy so tight in sweeping flow,

silent and still drifting nether airs,

through quiet realms where shadows swoon.



*1 dusk - the darker stage of twilight  *2 gibbous -  (of the moon) having the illuminated part greater than a semicircle but less than a full circle.   

*3 waning - (of the moon) having a progressively smaller part of visible surface illuminated so that it appears to decrease in size.    *4 muse - cluster of encouragement and inspiration  *5 concord - in discipline   *6 enduring glow - having his worries and peer pressures within    *7 unwitting - not aware of the full facts    *8 seer - the one who sees  *9 borne - the ceaseless ride held him upon   *10 nether airs - going down the horizon  *11 swoon - fall  

"watching it rise beyond the upper airs " - "it" here is referenced to moon. It shows that the moon is drifting upwards.  

"unaware a ceaseless ride borne" - the boy sitting on the stairs is held by the ride he is travelling due to the rotational motion of earth.  

Theme:  A yound dreamer contemplates the fleeting beauty of moon and the sky aware of the vast and ceaseless motion of the world beneath him as he drifts in a timeless dreamlike journey of wonder and introspection.

Significance of Title:  The title symbolises earth's ceaseless rotation and unseen ride of life mirroring how the young dreamer drifts through time and space, unaware of the world moving beneath him.

In brief: "The Giant Wheel" here references the earth.

Ceaseless

Pedaling bicycle, Sewing her fabric, Building her grain of rice, There lived a floret. Smiling at hardships, Keeping her chattel, Riding she delivers her goods, Like a daughter.

Leaving incognito.

 All our life is a fantasy, more we go it takes inside, in a zone that takes out past. Towards a zone that makes our past; Keeping space for the new future, All we live incognito. Much with eager, I got into there, a world of freedom and fantasy, creeps ahead in desultory, to farm our ego as pointless. At a dot, we get an ink, as reality hints another thought, "Existence of life takes charge- solely with an impression. which is futile without the past, the sense we feel and about to see". caressing about the past we left, facing just the scene upright, kissing at the bash to come. all we live in impression. quitting strangership behind, burning grim in dark beyond, I live forward in a blatant light, never turning back my face further. Strangership is an illution,  fanciful as an infection in the ultimate mirage of existace sprouting up an irony. * 1  desultory - wander without plans   * 2  caressing - gentle pat or motion of hands as a sign of love ...
