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
