Circles
Circles
And Life's a circle, endless Stopping just where it began. And lives are circles, too, Some small, some large, Some grandly turn, great rims of light, While thousands whirl away the years, Are never counted much, are gone, And never missed. But all whirl on and onward As the stars whirl around the sun, And all that universe about a greater, On and on Infinity beyond all comprehension. Some lives touch edges lightly, Whirl away - are gone Some turn on common centers. Some Turn all the while a little space away Nor ever touch. And lives Run round and round and round, And life's a circle endless. | |
