A Poem Titled: Circling Circles by Geoffrey K. Leigh
A circle within a circle
uniting and separate
sometimes ceaseless becomes broken
ending that it may newly begin
Existence encompases
spheres and breaks
end and continuance
induce new outlook assessment
Do I focus on prolongation or break
Does trust terminate or consumate
And sometimes the broken circle
brings me back to me
