I wonder what it'll take to go full circle
and find my way back home with You?
Although I might be as slow as a turtle
Your love will guide me when I'm true.
I’ll finish up then as I began being a child of Yours
having knocked on so many of life’s secret doors.
But even though I've yet to find all the right answers
at this stage of my life there have been some advances.
My feelings towards You now seem to have changed
but this shouldn’t be a reason for us to feel estranged.
Love's a universal magnet that draws everything together
we shouldn’t mind passing through some stormy weather.
In a world of constant change there are many upheavals
but love often does get stronger when there are retrievals.
It’s something of a realization by which we come to know
that as love completes a full circle perfection it will show.
How long will it take to go full circle
to find my way back home with You?
It seems I'm just as slow as a turtle
but is Love guiding me and am I true?

I met my second love near the day I left my first love.
I spent a year longer than with the one I felt was from above.
Now close to the day I met him, I have returned to my first love.

Her face held
no memory
Her body
no past
The light trapped
within her
As first comes
— to last

I paused for a moment
at the scent of a flower
Soon that moment
became an hour
My thoughts turned to bliss
the world no longer missed
Felt someone shaking me
eventually, he just let me be
At last I broke off and turned for home
though I felt an urge to roam…
Next thing I knew
I was back in the zoo

Define or describe a Circle
Okay here goes
I will try and give it my best shot
A Circle per day
Is when people say for example who have
Been and experienced first hand
Oppression any form of discrimination or abuse
Modern generations more liberated and emboldened
Somehow appropriate for and to serve themselves
And end up becoming the oprresors and abusers
Discriminating , indiscriminately spiteful hate against
Anyone that has a different opinion or viewpoint
Because you aren't welcome or to be tolerated
Sound familiar the very definition of
Complete gone full

Ohh
All hail the
Halo
Central to our universe
Once luminous transparent bright
Described as the color purple star
Prophecy denotes one coming day
Will gracefully descend
Fom the heavens and saintly sky
Above our sleepy heads
We dream and pray to up at night
To spirit us and our souls away
When we ourselves one day eventually die
To a higher plain and state of consciousness
Transported on the wings of flying angels
Beckoning welcoming us towards the light
Like we perceived and believed to be the
Halo
We prayed and wished upon awaited

Take it …
but don’t take it lightly
Step up …
but don’t miss a step
Reach out …
both hands clasped together
Arrive …
without having left

Blue Sky reaches

You’ve left me again,
With an aching heart.
You said you'd stay,
With me, never to leave.
I’ve heard those words before—
I visited you once,
When I first saw you,
And swore I wouldn’t return.
But now, here I am,
Breaking my promise,
Because you’ve become my past.
I visit you now in my thoughts,
Told myself I wouldn't question your leaving,
That I'd be okay after trusting you—
After breaking walls,
And letting you invade my heart.
Somewhat true,
But I still stay missing you.
I hope you’re happy,
That you've found the lady
I couldn’t be for you.
That you stay true,
In love, and never leave.
For my forever with you
Is now just a farewell,
And a wish for your bliss and joy.

At about face I'm standing north ,
I turn left,
I turn left,
I turn left,
I turn left,
at a stand I am now about face and full circle~

Happiness is heaven, ecstasy gratifying
Sensual and satisfaction zest and delight.
I am quite confident; it comes all the year round.
It comes in the springtime when new buds appear
And nature's perfume fecundates the parks.
The season is warmer and children can play,
Listen to them, it’s laughter all the way.
It comes in summer, with hot and humid days,
We lie near each other savoring our ways.
The sea is calm and bathers can enjoy
Both a refreshing swim or some cold lollipops.
It comes in autumn with air that's so crisp
As the first snowflakes bring down the red dry leaves.
Thanksgiving is organized, a sumptuous feast.
Tilled harvested fields prepared as the chill is a beast.
But wet windy winter comes cold and hoary days
Snowfalls cover the roads and all stay snug in homes,
Everywhere fireplaces radiate warmth and shelter,
For many people think that happiness is not far away.
And so, as the year draws to a miserable end,
Let’s open a bubbly, and happy greetings send.

COMING FULL CIRCLE ©2020dBwordresearch
We walked away from youth,
In a dance called life.
Some steps were joyful,
Others were in strife.
It gave us a song,
Often times a chance.
We learned of love,
As we learned to dance.
We played our own music,
With the life we lived.
Now it's all sweet memories,
That we have to give.
We finally come full circle,
Back to where we've been.
Youth is where we started,
But our circle has no end.

*"Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness"-
a cornucopia of blessings flow.
We thank our Lord, and then we acquiesce
to Old Man Winter’s frost and drifts of snow.
It’s but a spell before the melting time
when tiny buds poke up from fertile ground.
The world rejoices. Sun begins to climb
to bluer skies. We hear the robin’s sound,
but time moves on and newness cannot last.
The sun heats up and lingers in the sky,
but also hours spent beachside move so fast,
and days again have shortened by July!
A spell of dryness; then comes cool of fall.
Time does not go full circle at a crawl!

I can't believe it; I still did not get the edit right. It was MISTS plural. Hopefully I am good now!!!
