Circles.
Josh H Feb 2021
Circles and circles I go around;
I feel the weight of the sky falling down,

Circles and circles I go around;
I can't stop going around, and round.

Circles and circles, I go around;
I feel my life going into the ground.

Circles and circles, I go around;
I'm repeating myself, and I can't stop.

Circles and circles, I go around;
When I sometimes gain control of my world,
I only can hold on to it for so, so long;

Circles and circles, I go around;
I can't stop the feeling this merry-go-round,
Circles and circles, I go around.
Why can't I stop the  merry-go-round;


Circles and circles, I go around;
Sometimes I feel like giving up,

Circles and circles, I go around;
I need to fight for my own, own self,

Circles and circles, I go around;
No matter the price, I will stop.

Circles and circles, I go around;
I feel a hound is tracing me around,
Circles and circles, I go around;
I am trying to stop this hound,

Circles and circles, I go around.
I can't stop going around, and round.
Circles and circles, I go around;
I feel the weight of the sky going down.

Round about she goes
spinning circles, oblongs, ovals, and eggs.
Sure as the bite the cold wind blows
The circles must be spun

Lying in bed
a picture of dreamy isolation and tranquility
but without a doubt within her head
the circles must be spun

Her breath is steady
But her mind racing with today, tomorrow, occasionally yesterday
Why can’t I just sleep already!
The circles must be spun

Her patience runs thin
An awakened mind does little for a slowed body
Nails digging into skin
The circles must be spun

Red lines focus the mind
Pulling it away from the insistent circles
But short lived is relief of this kind
The circles must be spun

Other remedies have their ways
Turning the circles into two points connected
But tonight there shall be no such daze
The circles must be spun

So round about she must turn
Allowing the circles to turn, grow, and consume
Slowly they become cause for concern
The circles must be spun

To her never ending surprise
the spinning has slowed and the world blurred
The faithless sun begins to rise
The circles have be spun

Circles of Peace,of careless abandon.
Circles of love,unadulterated agape.
Circles of sweet dreams and great intention.



Circles of brotherhood and kindred spirit
Circles of umbilical trust and faithful souls,
Circles of impactful influence
Circles,oh circles of camaraderie


Circles of joy,of gospel that gladdens,
Circles of brimful  moments,
Circles of memorable times,
Concentric Circles of fulfillment,

In the middle thereof have I pitched my tent !

Life is in circles.
CMXIClement Jun 2020
Small circles,
friends,
habits,
family.
Small cycles,
seasons,
habits,
family.
Small circles because...
seasonal friends.
habitual cycles.
familial circles.
Small cycles because...
habitual friends.
seasonal habits.
familial circles.
Family cycles caused...
circular habits and...
seasonal friends and...
circles of habits and..
seasonal family...
cycles of circles,
circles of cycles,
cycles of circles that spiraled me earth-ward,
circles of cycles that spun me sky-ward.
Circles of habits that turned me inward.
And then breaking cycles that turned me outward.
Sometimes a broken circle is closer to perfect.
Tri a new Angle.  Sometimes square is better than circles.

Friends come and friends go
As I go round and round in circles

Love someone change your mind
Decide he was a swine
As you go round and round in circles

He who knows does not speak
He who speaks does not know
And I go round in circles

Dislike someone and will not bend
Later they may become your best friend
As life it goes around in circles

He who knows does not speak
He who speaks does not know
And I go round in circles

Soul takes on a body with each birth we make our date
With life and death along the road the soul reincarnates
The show goes round and round in circles

When loss and gain and up and down
Becomes the same, then we stop going in circles
Round and round in circles
A little known song written by George Harrison in India and almost recorded by the Beatles but not quite. All sorts of lessons here.

Circles never ceasing
Walking
Running
Sitting
Standing
Circles are all I'm seeing
Over thinking
Understating
Sarcasm
Stupidity
Circles
Words unsaid
Thoughts unspoken
Laying
Rolling
Driving
Stopping

The walls here are white.
White?
Quite.
The walls here are quite white.
And so soft, inviting --
little whispers
laughing -- ha ha --
could I but once
see them and not desire to
      fly through them --
  ha -- but my hands --
bound to these hips --
a waist.
Waste.
Mine?
     Do let's try to be careful.
Careful,
   careful.
Circles --
  aah -- circles.
White?
Quite.
  Nice clean labcoats --
let's try another example --
  Maybe this time we can --
Quite?
-- understand.
The walls
           white
    are here
Quite
      to understand...
-- Ha ha ha --
Circles.
    If you are not
already,
       I am quite --
Quite --
          white --
     sure --
                I can bring you
D
  O
    W
       N
    and you can run
  circles
Drown
          ha ha ha
     around this
                  quite
                          white
    ­       table --
                    bed --
go insane.
      Do let's try to be careful
                              with this one.
And see?
          Yo soy
                     feliz
        estoy muy contenta
                        aquí.
       No quiero estar --
                  estar --
           ser en cualquier
                             otro lugar.
              ¿Miras?
                      ¿Sí?
         ­   Ay, circles, circles,
                y el oscuridad --
                         closes in
                 around
                                   me
                                me
¿Blanca?
         Quite.
Estoy aquí
                        with you.
                                Los ojos --
                           sí, y el alma --
                       ay --
                                 me duele.
Señor -- good, good sir --
         put me down --
                  ayúdame a dormir
        porque these circles --
White?
                    Quite.
              -- so tiresome.
     walls surround
              me?
                      me?
      What could you want
                              with me?
                           Me?
               Escaping --
      turmoil.
                  You must leave --
          this chair --
                     mine.
               Not thine own.
       This booke is mine to
                               be writ.
                Ha ha --
                    ha--
         This mind travles
                   c    i    r    c    l    e    s
As if I were ever so good
                              a writer --
                    speaker --
           repeat me
                      repeat me
                               repítame
                          Me me me
                                      duele.
Ay, señor --
             mátame,
                    por favor.
       Yo no quiero vivir en este lugar.
                                Quiero --

                             dormir.

                  Forevermore.

White?
Quite.

Circles and circles and circles again
The seasons chase each other with no beginning or end
Like a warm winter day or a cool summer night
The things we don't have are what bring us delight

Change remains an unchanging theme
Seems closed eyes see the best scenes
Memories forgotten and stories untold
Today will remain as children grow old

Dreams are the places we go all alone
Free of the world our bodies rest in at home
And though we will wake when morning comes
The earth spins in circles and we return to where we are from

Morning to night and green leaves to snow
Beginnings are ends to what we have known
Every leave falls but spring brings another
To hold the warmth for a season and lend shade to the summer

The best time of year are not seasons at all
But the places between winter and spring, summer and fall
The change reminds hope for something new
February's Frost is the same summer dew

All things that are dying will soon again grow
fields of life rest beneath blankets of snow

As a forest contains the clouds
Who's rain brings fresh sprout
So a bird holds the sun which brings the flowers about

Being is changing and changing is freeing
The sky moves through all that is breathing
Endings are beginnings and beginnings are ends
Circles and circles and circles again

— The End —
