Round
like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending or beginning
on an ever spinning reel
like a s_____ll down a mountain
or a carnival balloon
like a carousel that's turning
running rings around the moon

like a clock whose hands are sweeping
past the minutes of its face
and the world is like an apple
whirling silently in s___e
like the circles that you find
in the windmills of your mind !

like a tunnel that you follow
to a tunnel of its own
down a hollow to a cavern
where the sun has never shone,
like a door that keeps revolving
in a half forgotten dream,
or the ripples from a pebble
someone tosses in a stream

like a clock whose hands are sweeping ....

keys that jingle in your pocket
words that jangle in your head
why did summer go so quickly ?
was it something that you said ?
lovers walk along a shore
and leave their footprints in the sand

is the sound of distant drumming
just the fingers of your hand ?
pictures hanging in a hallway
and the fragment of this song
half remembered names and faces
but to whom do they belong ?

When you knew
that it was over
you were suddenly aware
that the autumn leaves were turning
to the color
of her hair !

When you knew
that it was over
in the autumn of goodbyes
for a moment
you could not recall the color
of his eyes !

like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending or beginning
on an ever spinning reel

as the images unwind
like the circles
that you find
in the windmills of your mind !
