Life in Circles...

  

The day came when I could go to another shore
I would bathe in life and indulge my senses in it
Dance in wide open spaces on a sandy beach  

There I ran along the water’s edge jumping over wavelets
How lovely the scalloped lacy petticoats the sea wore today
On the edge of her beautiful bridal dress 

I would leap out of time and there would be only ‘NOW!’
NOW would be my future I would be all complete in today 

‘Oh,’ said the sea,
‘Like my waves stop when my tide is full!’ 

‘Oh!’ said the wind,
‘Like I don’t blow anymore once my gale is done!’ 

‘Oh!’ said the sun,
‘Like I rose today so I’ve finished rising!’ 

And the sea and the wind and the sun,
They all laughed at me!
