The Circle

the circle
a safe space
to be
at peace
with oneself
beads of water
on lotus leaves
bubbles afloat
upon a breeze
the empty womb
of creation
closed
to the vagaries
of time and space
yet open
to boundless life
and a fullness
of self-contained love
unity
of all things
without beginning
or end
the infinite
life-line
the wheel
of life and death
the point of no return
of coming home
full circle
