Musings Under the Oaks: From the Linear to the Circular

 

In the moment 

We cease to be

Time turns on itself 

To bring the end 

To the beginning 

And the parts of each life 

Fall into  place 

To make a coherent whole

 

In the moment 

We cease to be 

The whole of each life

Settles into its place 

In the tapestry of time

To live forever 

In the eternal present  

Of everything that will happen

After we cease to be
