Poem #49 – The Center of the Circle

Be as one in mind
With God, your Creator
Save this though not until later
Unity is the Source of all creation
Without a Source there can be no nation

Yet, when one becomes two
The separation is felt
And like a mighty glacier
The structure does melt

One needs two to know itself well
But when there are two
A mighty tree the axe it does fell
Cleaves it in pieces
Splits it in half
Left longing for unity
Like a mother and her calf

The division is necessary to know the One
But nothing feels right
Til reunion is done
For we are all drawn back to the Center
To this great Union we want to re-enter

The point lies at the circle’s hub
The spot where together two coins will rub
And when two sticks together you churn
A spark ignites, then a fire does burn

There can be no wholeness ‘til these truths you know
Inside will be dark until the glow
Of God’s love you ignite
By gaining in-sight
Of your true nature, your Source
You’ll know this all in due course

But learn the lesson now
And then you’ll know how
To find the love we all seek …
In your Center take a peek

Live not on the rim
To the Center dive right in
And there find your bliss
The sweetest, purest kiss
