Circling Riddles in circles of my life I swim, holding on with fishlike fin a stroke a breath a mermaid’s life in circles of my life I swim in circles of blue I seek truth and hide not from the hunter, he who would know should know that in circles of blue I seek in circles of gold I find that which would still hold this will, this want, that should still be in circles of gold I find to find that one still swims in circles of blue to seek that which should be found circled in gold is to know the circle of life, indeed  write with grace, all others lose face; |

You are missing out- swimming is fun! Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

Once the circle of gold is found, the circles of blue may disappear (or wink), having accomplished all.... |

It is always interesting to see which way poets take a poem...three went for a swim, one went for the gold. Thank you all! |

Hmmm...I don't see either of those, I see this metaphorically speaking of the vows of marriage. The gold represents wedding bands and the circles of blue is the sadness that one sometimes feels when things are not going as well as one would want. Therefore, once the shiny gold is seen once more, the circles of blue will totally disappear - and in searching for the gold, you learn a life lesson, but what do I know? Well, this is just my reading of this wonderful poem. Either way, or my way, I loved it! Swimming is fun too  ~*~ I write ~ Therefore I am ~*~ |

Good work, nice read. I love cyclic poems. I come back to them again and again and... ---------------------------------------- A cirrus has circular motion a pond is circular too and ripples in the cosmic ocean reflect what we say and do Man in his infinite wisdom knowing that God is love holds for his ego kingdom God, not in but above |

the riddle circles tighter and tighter it shrinks until the ring fits Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |
