The Circle Poem by Edmund V. Strolis
The Circle
People tighten the circle
I see you orbit them and they you
Returning from the noisy world
The one with compassionate hands
Most compassionate lady
I say it again
Be one of the strongest links
As Family and friends wander home
For home is in the heart of us all
and we have earned this royal welcome
I have an ear to lend, two eyes to see you clear
Express your fears to me, set your feelings free
The you with wings and a kind heart that is the true you
It's okay, choose freedom, embrace the light of day
Gather gladly one and all
As family and friends complete the circle
Asking and lending a shoulder to lean on
Bracing ourselves for the prelude, to that great mystery.

How true, how beautiful. Family and friends are so necessary to life. They complete our life, complement our personality. Yes, we need to live in a tight circle of family n friends and let our life orbit around them. That's the natural course, the universe's plan. We must move in a circle to align with the universe n be at peace.
What strength we have in numbers. In time we are all tested. Nobody with an open heart can escape the inevitable consequences of life's sorrow and yet there is mercy and comfort in counsel. There is redemption in forgiveness and understanding in a world filled with noise. I like the concept of the tribe. Not to exclude but to include and draw strength within the bond. You see Nosheen I am the type of person that could live well in complete solitude and yet since society obliges me to interact I do so with vigor. Sometimes I wish that society was more like the Italian marketplace of old where the loud and abrasive exchanges is not meant to be abusive but to break down barriers. Too many people today are ready to be outraged by the smallest thing that they don't like. In America we call them snowflakes.
