CAUTIONS ABOUT CIRCLES

I found myself outside the circle again


it closed while I contemplated my past

and was shamed to see how much was my own doing


(not to give a pass to those went out of their way

to cause harm with complete self-satisfaction...


trouble comes to all but woe to the one who brings it...

so I'll have to watch out for my own glee)


but I must admit this new view shows me more

than my previous stances


opens my heart and cleanses my ego...

and as I feel around the circumference


all I have to remember is to not make too much of it

else I wind up vain and stupid again with yet


more circles to close from which I must free myself....
