CirclesI throw a stone into the water and I watch the circles as they growWhile holidays and birthdays leave footprints like soldiers in the snow The flowers and the icicles are spokes in a wheel that has no end And the passing of the seasons makes me think about circles again The sun and the moon, circles tracing circles in the sky While old people and children look at each other in the mirror in the eye Like the turning of a waterwheel like the voice of a long lost friend When I think about my old friends I think about circles again Round and round and round in circles we spin Over and over we end up right where we begin Those things that never change, those things that are never the same Though it looks like a straight road I'm traveling in circles again These round coins in my hand there's so much I do that they ask me What goes around will come around; there are wheels turning night & day right past me I had a dream long ago I was hiding but a clock always found me And now everywhere I look I see circles all around me (© 1991 by Harvey Reid)
