Notes About The Poem

The Heart Circle

We all gathered there as friends
heart circle was the call
To reveal our inner feelings 
thirteen of us in all

We moved around the circle
gave each other space
Listened to some sadness and some laughter too
noticed changes of expression on each others face

Miguel then decided to sing a song or two
accompanied himself with guitar
It seems nobody came along 
to play an oriental sitar

There was chanting 
there was Lesley on the drum
There was Johannes on the didgeridoo
 if we didn't chant then we joined in with a hum

To the turn of Liliana she revealed 
so much talent for the songs she had composed
Some knew the lyrics the melody as well
when revealing feelings for some vulnerability is exposed

We all then shared a meal
so much colour from the table
Many salads much variety of fare
filled our tummies with as much as we felt able

Then beneath a starry starry night 
whilst the moon was setting in the west
Not a drop of alcohol in sight we sat by firelight
satiated by food so much love feeling really blessed

More dancing more chanting more song
Letting rip sometimes with a vivid dingo howl I do recall
Is it valid that all good things must come to an end ?
I think not ! But it's time and goodnight is now the call
