THE CIRCLE

Into facts and figures seekers look for truth
and contemplate and calculate long into the night
but firmly held and trapped in the circle of our youth
we remain forever blind to the proof we hope to find.  

The circle moves, it always moves, and goes with the flow  
attuned to the music like a dancer on the stage
and keeping time with time it pays homage to our souls
by creating the reality we call forth every day.  

The mass of human flesh still innocent in youth
place all their energy, the blood of their life force,
into the shallow grave of worldly evil ways
that keeps the circle moving away from our true source.  

I want to burst the bubble; I want to grow my mind,
and step into adulthood beyond this present time
but I know it’s only love, our essence long forgot,
that sets us on the path to the truth we hope to find.  

But back again, back again, the circle moves again
into another time, another youthful mind,
and another try at living until we live the truth
together as we were before our human lives.      

No time, no time, to love this time - I must live a lie
with all the tears I cry unfelt by humankind!

good imagery, but i have issues with the rhyme scheme - is there one? or is it just chance that some parts rhyme?
other than that (admittedly mild) issue i like this.
