I come to sit
In the Sacred Circle.
In solitude
I seek, I meditate,
I explore my Soul
To eradicate
The structures within
That seek to restrict
The path set before me.
In my mind’s eye I wander
Through the past
Of vast wastelands
To seek the old bones
That feel smooth to the touch,
Yet, are solid as stone.
Though bleached white with time,
They send shadowed reflection,
Like faint ripples that shimmer
To seem silver in sand.
I set to the task
To gather together
Each piece important
To the whole.
I lay them bare before me
Building from the beginning
To complete the circle,
To restore the old life
To regain the new.
For in the continuing circle
There is no end.

I’d like to know who you are, or at least something about who you are.
Seeing these several poems here with no author construct or any gesture to an author construct is…well, it’s strange.
One poet to (hopefully) another, what I see here is too good to remain purely anonymous.

Thank you for getting back to me with this.
It seems to me that you should include some relevant information about yourself here to give the poetry that you leave here some context. Otherwise they’re just anonymous poems by an anonymous author, something wholly unsuited to the quality of the poems that I’ve seen here.
It’s just a suggestion, of course, but I encourage you to take it.

I love the melody that this poem has in rhythm. A sense of reincarnation in the last lines gained my interest. Excellent piece.

Thank you! I actually re-wrote the last lines a couple of times before I felt I had it right.
