In This Circle Poem by Falana Zion

In This Circle

Rating: 5.0


On the old rugged roof
Sat the hungry dove
Beholding the stars above

I saw the grass dancing
With its tentacles pointing to the sky
Saying goodbye to the earth

On this silent sea
Lies our gentle hearts
Forming an iceberg

Surely on this silent sea
Our thoughts won't be drowned by the wind
Or our hearts be consumed by the sun

Misty grasses
Sleeping waters
Rise, for the dark sky is giving up to light

In this circle, the hurdles may double
The gods may sleep
But, the sky and the moon,
Will always be the light and the roof

I miss those days when I used to spend more time under the sky and the moon than under the concrete roof. good work. Carry on.
