Circle
since the beginning
-perhaps even earlier-
we became two dots on a circle,
you and I,
on the circle of like souls,
both vicious and virtuous,
but never once questioning why
we moved and travelled
day and night
our speeds varied
so did the directions
we ran into each other,
many times,
often short and sweet
only not to say good-bye
the circle itself turned
and shrank or expanded
perhaps constantly
but we didn't feel any of that
since we've set our eyes
on each other only
as we shall until the day we lie.
