The Great Circle
How much do I love you?
I've played to know.
Let me count the ways,
All the ways I can show,
You my Love...
First there was one
and by one she stood.
Two came along,
an expansion of love.
Then three held hands
near a willow tree,
As four sang carols
to the humming bee.
Five was there,
like a guiding light...
Finally, we recognized Six.
And we stopped the fight.
Seven was right,
there are Eight
gates in Heaven.
Nine sang divine,
And ten at the 'end'...?
Was a mistaken, eleven.
Twelve chimed "New Time".
And Ophiuchus was restored,
To Her, proper place of Mind.
Among Friends,
In the Great Circle.
