A Full Circle

Posted byAnitaelisePosted inPoemsTags:, , , , ,

It has to be a full circle to show you your face
a mirror that reveals that hidden dark place.
The good that brings truth and shows the faults you hide.
Life will take you on it’s roller coaster ride.

It has to be a full circle because you have to pay
the piper you called out in your hour of disgrace.
The hate and the envy because you couldn’t see that we all pay our dues.
Nothing in life comes free.

A full circle, until the tide turns.
It will clean out your closet and there’ll be lessons to learn.
A circle of light that will burn from inside and reach the root of the rot and demolish all that false pride.

And we all will suffer, both victims and sinners.
For we are all one in this complex, infinite universe.
A full complete circle. We just have to wait on the tide that WILL turn.
And reveal our true face.

A complete full circle to right all wrongs.
A flame that burns as it always did.
Eternal.
And strong.

There’s always hope, even at our darkest hour. Even when it seems like society is getting more fractured all the world over, and people less able to accept difference. There’s always hope, and we just have to buckle down. Try our best to learn the lessons we are taught. Live our lives the way we want others to live theirs.

And wait. And believe. 

And wait.

A Full Circle

Posted byAnitaelisePosted inFaith, hope, growth and loveTags:, , , , , , ,

It has to be a full circle to show you your face,

A mirror that reveals that hidden, dark place.

The good that rings true, plus the faults that you hide,

Life will take you on it’s roller coaster ride.

It has to be a full circle because you have to pay,

The piper you called out in your hour of disgrace.

The hate and the envy because you couldn’t see,

That we all pay our dues – that nothing in life comes free.

A full circle, until the tide turns,

It will clean out your closet – there’ll be lessons to learn.

A circle of light that will burn from inside,

And reach the root of the rot and demolish all that false pride.

And we all will suffer, both victims and sinners,

For we are all one, in this complex, infinite universe.

A full complete circle, we just have to wait,

On the tide that WILL turn, and reveal our true face.

A complete full circle to right all wrongs,

A flame that will burn, eternal and strong.

There’s always hope, even at our darkest hour. Even when it seems like society is getting more fractured all the world over, and people less able to accept difference. There’s always hope, and we just have to buckle down. Try our best to learn the lessons we are taught. Live our lives the way we want others to live theirs.

And wait. And believe. And wait.
