Here within this circumference of a circle
Within which I am contained
Is the place I most long to be
Knowing that
Contrary to public opinion
All I need is present here
Worlds within worlds within worlds
It seems to me that for years I have been outrunning myself
Buying into the illusion that in order to be complete
I need something more from outside of me
But lately laneways of desire I travel down
All seem to be blocked
Ending only in dead ends
Leaving me feeling even emptier
From the journey
As the illusion that it is only through another
I can be complete Is fading
Like fog on a sunny day
And so now I finally understand
How much happier I feel
When I can just be alone here
For a while
A queen within her court
Supping with spirits and powers, ideas and dreams and memories
Feeling the world flow in beneath my feet
As I find my completeness
Within the circumference of
The circle of my own life
