Circle of Life
i have no words to celebrate
to create the joy i've felt
the sadness and the gladness
all have come to melt
the confusion of the exhaustion
of sentiments choked up
within the thoughts of one
who breathes the slightest sigh
for fear it is not over
what next to overcome
to shout out in exultation
or hold tight the stance of prayer.
