Wheel

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the main components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel and flywheel.

Common examples are found in transport applications. A wheel greatly reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity, or by the application of another external force or torque.

Etymology

The English word wheel comes from the Old English word hweol, hweogol, from Proto-Germanic *hwehwlan, *hwegwlan, from Proto-Indo-European *k^wek^wlo-, an extended form of the root *k^wel- "to revolve, move around". Cognates within Indo-European include Icelandic hjól "wheel, tyre", Greek κύκλος kúklos, and Sanskrit chakra, the latter both meaning "circle" or "wheel".

The Wheels

Another empty page and I wonder what to lay upon it.
Maybe an apology, a declaration of remorse.
The weight of the words is subjective
but I've only so many lines until the rhymes of the next song begin.
Will this one mean anything by then?
Perhaps it's just the pattern of life,
we mind the matter and not the meaning.
It's not always gleaming so don't avert your eyes in fear of going blind.
Luminosity is more subtle than you'd think,
and your intentions are more important than anything.
All is fleeting and I can't wait for this page to burn.
The smoke will turn the wheels
the way the wind moves you to the place you've earned.
You'll have nothing once you're there
but the songs once in the air will replay in your head.
You'll repeat the mantra with more intent.
Would you believe that you have everything you need?
Dig it.
This can't just be the pattern of life,
to mind the matter and not the meaning.
It's not always gleaming so don't avert your eyes in fear of going blind.
Luminosity is more subtle than you'd think
and your intentions are more important than anything.
Hold on to nothing, all you see is on its way out.
