Triolets by Owen Maier

“Conscious Triolet”

I thought I made a conscious decision

But now it doesn’t seem very conscious at all

Doing something in a new way provides the heart with a new incision

I thought I made a conscious decision

This fireball of an idea affects us all

It seems so new, so thoughtful and I guess

I thought I made a conscious decision

But now it doesn’t seem very conscious at all

“Happiness Triolet”

Happiness comes in a different way

Born out of sadness

It rises from nothing like a lotus in water where it lay

Happiness comes in a different way

It can’t be born out of itself

It fights its way to the top, one climbing idea

Happiness comes in a different way

Born out of sadness
