And The Circle Runs Round ~*Marge Tindal*~  The Dream Hoop~ Ever back from whence we came and the circle runs round and round South to North - up the Red road East to West - across the Blue road~ The Sacred Hoop~ East-the beginning South-into youth and passion West-to adulthood North-to the land of the ancient wisdom And the circle runs round~ The Sacred Fire Circle~ Centered in love turning within itself Words spoken in loving respect return as they are given Within the fire circle sticks of wisdom shared~ Soaring on wing of Eagle Circling~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Oh, I really like this one, Marge. It reminds me of a Bahai friend, a hoop dancer and Lakota flute player named Kevin Locke, whose songs and dances re-enforce the circle of life. I believe the circles of love, beauty and life surround our souls today, as they have always surrounded us, and will in the future. |

"Centered in love turning within itself Words spoken in loving respect return as they are given Within the fire circle sticks of wisdom shared~" Your wisdom is warm with words, Marge. |

I, too, enjoyed Duncan's grasp of how your poetry affects people...a calming revival of all that we know, if we would be take a moment to claim it.... |

Marge- Please accept this as a response since afterall it is what spilled out when I read your post. I know that you will know where all this comes from and I thank you for your gift of share and heart. gv ge yuhi Decaying Decadence Given this view of endless circles upon which we all tread ... is there really an end to anything or is there merely the illusion that things pass ... and if they pass ... would it not be that they pass through over and over as time itself repeats only the chartered realm where once before we held our breath? How is it that we can convey to someone that time heals all wounds when we know that history repeats itself ... giving reason to the knowledge that time does not heal ... but instead takes a break from the pain and anguish only to come full circle and taunt us with the memories and emotions of times from lost days as if scraping a scab from our wounds insuring that they never have a chance to heal completely? This in turn ... would lead to the belief that we are not scarred, but instead ... we are in reality filled with a lifetime of decaying decadence ... that may be removed at the will of history in the re-making and causing us to bleed once again ... over what we wish would heal to the tenderness of a scar ... instead of the crusty remains of hurt that lie in wait for a sharp edge of life to break the fragile boundaries and spill forth ... the agonizing spoils of defeat from the battles we are supposed to grow strong from. Is this the truth of living ... or is this the justification that we use to remain vulnerable ... allowing us to be human and offer our weakness when it is best suited to the needs we wish to pursue Only the history you yourself write holds the answer ... just as I hold my answer within the bonds of my ability to believe in the unexplainable and accept that there is a power and an unconditional love above comprehension. As for me ... I live ... I believe I love ... I believe I bleed ... in the memory of legends I believe stronger I choose to celebrate the four winds of direction and rejoice in the gift of compassion that comes from being able to feel pain as well as joy and I offer praise to the ancestors that wrote the history that gives us this freedom. |

OhMyMaga~ How your words settle in the heart of this little Cherokee. It is said among the people that sit the Sacred Fire Circle that - 'A harsh word runs forever in the Circle, eventually vanishing from the wear against itself. Love settles within the Circle, embracing it and thereby lasting forever' Your heart has found this to be so ... How I love seeing you visit, leaving such beautiful words of wisdom~ 'I hold my answer within the bonds of my ability to believe in the unexplainable and accept that there is a power and an unconditional love above comprehension.' You know gv ge yuhi~ ~*Willow White Feather*~  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
