inner circle

life wraps me in its circle
like ripples on the ocean
around a central sparkle
it sets my days in motion

the circle of a woman
whose womb became my mother
gave me transcendent vision
life’s sentiments to gather

now i am my beloved’s
encircled by her hunger
the world is yet confounded
while at faith’s gate we linger

one day earth’s inner circle
shall with dark rings surround me
but by a perfect marvel
death shall bring sweet delivery…
