Flashback

Wheels turn loose inside
they lead me back
cobbled streets, horsedrawn carriages
I was 20 at Fort Santiago
looking at a man
holding the reins

It was 10 years ago
many things happened
Nothing's changed
I think, I feel
Yet the same

Wheels grind stones
In my memory
They appear mighty
going on, going round
Never stopping

Wheels they remind me
Of a long lost folk song
"Wheels of fate"
Life is a wheel in fate

How can fate stay the same?
