Yuri
I've noticed many people asking about my poem 'Wheel' lately...
Yuri
Would you like me to explain the meaning behind it?
Yuri
You see, it's a philosophical-cosmological piece drawing from Dharmic traditions.
Yuri
The Samsara Wheel represents how existence, life, death, and the cosmos are all intertwined in endless cycles...
Yuri
That's why everything breathes in the final stanza. It symbolizes the universal consciousness that connects all things.
Yuri
The wheel turns, breaking and forming patterns across dimensions of reality...
Yuri
W-well, that's what one might interpret when reading it...
Yuri
(Should I really tell the truth? It's so embarrassing...)
Yuri
The actual inspiration was... um... a Journey song.
Yuri
'Wheel in the Sky,' to be precise. I know it seems out of character for me...
Natsuki
Wait, you like Journey?!
Natsuki
I never would have guessed Miss Literature-Is-My-Life would be into classic rock!
Natsuki
Well, well. Looks like you actually have good taste in at least one thing, Yuri.
Natsuki
For the record, 'Don't Stop Believin'' is obviously their best song.
Yuri
You... you like Journey too, Natsuki?
Yuri
(Perhaps we have more in common than I thought...)
