Circles Inside Of Circles



Inner and outer circles reflect dealings of trust.
As symbols of confidence their meaning is august.

Planets, moons and galaxies circle in outer space.
As symbols of creation their meaning is a grace.

Family, blocs and qualities circle party concern.
As symbols of endeavor their meaning is upturn.

Traffic, towns and rotaries circle a roundabout.
As symbols of direction their meaning is far out.

Halos, rings and diadems circle hand and head.
As symbols of endurance their meaning is inbred.

Artic, great and parhelics circle essential earth.
As symbols of magnitude their meaning is of girth.

Circles inside of circles command the universe.
As symbols of connection their meaning is transverse.
