The Loop

Birth is the echo of death undone, each breath a leash to the infinite. We orbit ourselves, naming the stars as if they’ll stay. But time only dances in circles— wearing masks we once wore.

Yes time certainly does dance in circles, with history repeating itself over and over as the stars burn out and are replaced. Love this poem. It says so much with such few words. Congrats. A well earned win.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment. I’m glad the poem resonated with you. It’s amazing how history does seem to move in cycles, and I’m thrilled that the piece captured that essence. Your kind words mean a lot, and I truly appreciate the support.
