A round shape

A round shape
A pearl on the line
Hope, holding on
Connected, entwined
Living organism
Life itself calling us
Calling to us
To move with the living
The growing, the movement
The changing in time
The moving, motion
Connected, entwined

Framed by the Arc

Not by the square
hard edges, immoveable
framed by the arc
rounded, smooth
turning, moving
the spinning of creation
of the sphere, connection
all of our together
moving as one
interconnected, family
in the circle of life

A Spectrum of Light

A spectrum of light
the circle of life
from end to end, unending
revolving in flight
round and round turning
the hard edges made smooth
not polar opposites
but places on a line
the thread of the web
woven into life
a tapestry growing
out of our peace and our strife
the tale of the nations
of the peoples near and far
the interconnectedness of nations
all colors and hues
all tongues and races
connected, turning
on this spinning top, this union,
this globe we call home

The Circle of the Square

The rounding of the edges
the fuzzing of the line
the shaping of the polygon
made by the potter’s hands
Rounding the rough edges
smoothing the sharp lines
moving in circular motion
somehow that’s sublime
