[bodytext] => The Circle of Trees The circle of tree tops, wintered, gnarled whispy A thorny wreath, against a gray sky Waves rhythmically, then spasmodically Inviting without emotion The circle is a moment, the here, the now For me a stillness, a respite A vision without time, without pain Existing, present and free from thought But its peace holds only an instant The past with its shame, the future with its terror Gush into the fold The circle of trees loses its spell The tireless words of the mind come with fits and starts And Longfellow repeats himself endlessly to me “A boy’s will is the wind’s will And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts” [comments] => 2 [counter] => 182 [topic] => 13 [informant] => westcannon [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
