The secret to navigating the circles of life
Is finding the way safely home;
+
Fighting the tendency to want to escape from the truth,
The weaknesses to which I am prone;
+
Resting in the one that gives true comfort
And the staying power to be alone.
+
Of course nothing in this world is so trustworthy
And some circles give us the latitude to roam,
+
Unless or until I can see with clear vision
Or the decision is finally written in stone.
+
But most times I will keep running from one to the other
Because it is that which makes me feel I am alive;
+
Nothing is more tortuous than the human heart
And the journeys along the way it must contrive;
+
Until it learns it is only in an heavenly soil
In which when planted it will eternally thrive.
