Running Rings (Poetry)

I used to think I knew it all
believed I had the answers
I whirled with all the dervish-types
those crazy dizzy dancers

The only thing that I achieved
from such bizarre behaviour
was a confused discovery
such madness has no saviour

The circle is unbreakable
completed at the start
with no beginning and no end
runs rings around the heart

And time’s a loop we can’t escape
the spinning earth’s all-knowing
life rolls its wheel and who can guess
how long it will keep going
