Circles of Life

I try to find arms to climb from this hole Feeling quite trapped, like a fish in a bowl. Swimming in circles in waters of doubt There doesn’t seem to be any way out. With each dream that dies another is born The fabric of life appears tattered and torn. Life becomes a circle no beginning or end Nothing returns from the intentions I send. If I close my eyes will it all disappear? Will I survive or surrender to fear? I dream and it seems colors return Meanwhile my life, bridges still burn. I awake in the morning to a blinding light Happy to escape the demons of night. I wonder if only I had some more time But it disappears like the scene of a crime. Life does come but then slips away Somehow tomorrow becomes today. I try to grab hold but it slips through my fingers I start once again only memories linger. I see this circle that still spins around Like the universe to which I’m bound. Each revolution provides one more chance The view becomes different upon second glance.
