A Haunt of Circles

It is when I search,
That I find.
And when I find,
That I realize how truly lost I am.

It is when I listen,
That I understand,
And when I understand,
That my own thoughts begin to confuse me.

It is when I look back from where I came,
That I remember,
And when I remember, 
That I start looking forward again.

And,
It is when I question 
The linearity of life,
That these Circles haunt me.
They haunt me
Again and again, and again.

Now I pause, and pray
That you do too.
And I ponder awhile,
For seconds - just a few.
But it is moments like these
In which my choices I bewail.
For it is moments like these
In which start becomes end.
And ends?
Starts, without fail.
