Circles are rippling in my mind
The cause
Effect
Consequences in time
Of time, it was time
it was mine
When I was fine
I was okay being behind
Stuck by the line
In rhythm
In rhyme
What had me in this bind
Why was I being so blind
Ticking was the clock
I was stuck
Unable to walk
Paralyzed with fear
In tears
After many years
When had it become so clear
The words unraveled
Very well worn and travelled
Spun round the world
Dangling from a spoon
I was sailing right to the moon
Eyes wide excited
Scared
Bewildered
At the future beginning
Round again
In this one spin
Gasping for air
Where is the oxygen
Dizzying
Wheeling
Thoughts were fleeting
Could it be me
That was begging and pleading
For the end to stop
Just to start
An introduction
Speaking, with a silent voice
Smiling with no grin
Laughter with no sound
This moment was overtaking
Could I possibly meet who was in the making
To him
Creator
God
What would I say
Hope I wasn't faking
Now am I breaking
Dismayed, behind dark eyes
Everything laid out bare
Had always been there
For the taking
My heart need just to reach out,
And start the
Creating
Rippling
Circling in my head
I saw my end, but
First I saw
What was in that first breath
Of this life
My life
Such a whirlwind in
My mind
When would I comprehend
Understanding
Unblinking never faltering
Not halting
To the sound
A whisper
It echoed
Thru the eons
Ringing out in each soul
Longing for the chimes
The bells
The tones
To all sing out
In one voice
In one note
We all call out
In moments of hope
In times of faith
With joy
With sorrow
Yet always with the heart
It plays the beat
The tempo
The drums
As the ripples
Of circles
Come round again
I thought of consequence
Yet found the meaning of eternity
In the end.
