Puffed Knowing-ness

circles and lines
brushing the ocean
flung from shallow
to deep
they skim over water
light, like buttered marie

absorbing the scent
of flowering trees
seeming to bend with the current
where no corner is seen
twisting and turning
rolling on sides and
treading on no path, before seen

circles and lines
are bright with colour
and pirouettes many
gestures elaborate
done with puffy sleeves
some hesitation,
even a few mistakes
but faith in destiny
and hope mingled in above faith

gently they narrow
and then explode
sorrow and joy both
in one tiny soul
aware of the universe
embracing all thats known
with eyes open
and countless places to go

circles and lines
so often ignored
have so much to do
a life they live
together, fulfilled
caked in with surity
rarely known
a lihaf of symbolism
and protected they are,
from eyes immature
and measurements
conducted to the dot

ambling on
to a sun far away
circles and lines
burdened not,
bound not,
by people, time or place.


*lihaf- blanket of sorts. often used metaphorically to represent ... well the representations interpretation is really up to the reader.
