when
where
how
does the circle begin?
does it begin with life's first cry
and end with life's last breath?
on a larger scale - perhaps
God alone knows when
each heart has come full circle
yet perhaps within the larger circle
lie many smaller circles
too numerous to count
and within the smaller circles
lie even smaller circles
to analyze each circle
and all that is held within
would consume the time and energy
of the lifetime
in which the circles
exist
yet each small circle
is connected to another circle
and that one to another circle
and on and on
times exist when it is hard to know -
is one circle reaching completion
waiting for His hand
His voice
His prompting
to begin yet another circle?
that place of waiting can be
uncomfortable
painful
even terrifying
to be still requires courage
patience in the quiet
brings peace in the waiting
so much easier to fill that space with more
and more
and more
create noise
to avoid silence pressing hard
I know
for I have created more time and time again
my heart is in that time of waiting
circles suspended
in time and space
yet I cling to what I know to be true -
the hand that created the time and space
in which I am suspended
is the very hand holding me
close to His heart
