Where The Circle Ends…

I have bathed in my tears time & again,

Hoping to wash away the pain….

I have broken and shattered my heart

to once and for all find a way to repair its core…

I have a ‘to-do’ for every wakeful moment

so that I won’t wander
through the labyrinth of my lore…

I have chattered gracelessly even when no one was listening

so that I won’t drown in the silence of my soul….

I have laughed out aloud without a gag…

Hoping to revive my worn out self

But every time I ran faster…

Hoping to escape …

I found myself reaching just where

I began…

I was circling stubbornly…the circumference of life….

Believing this was ‘living’….

Only when I stepped into the light of the Center

And sat there unwaveringly

in the stillness and nothingness ….

I realized that no matter how long it had taken

I had finally reached my destination….

And all I had to do was to stop running in circles…
