Asymmetrical circles



From  asymmetrical circles
of here and now
 
A white rose left
By the thundering sea
On the sanded shore
Initiates the warming heart
in the navel of our lives

Within the egg  of womb
in  its original wholeness
Form  communities
Built on trust and love
in the ephemeral eternal
of here and now

On the altar of paradoxes
In its hardened stone
Gates which open underground
Caves of winter landscapes
spring to life again
 
in the language of natures dreams
the shepherd and lamb reside
behind the golden sun

    Your verses beautifully weave a tapestry of nature's elements and the eternal cycle of life. The imagery of the white rose left by the thundering sea, the warmth it ignites in the heart, and the symbolism of the navel of our lives evoke a sense of connection to the natural world and the profound impact it has on our innermost being.

    The description of the egg of the womb in its original wholeness forming communities based on trust and love speaks to the nurturing and transformative power of beginnings and the importance of unity and connection. The imagery of paradoxes on the altar, gates opening to underground caves, and the rebirth of winter landscapes into spring symbolize the cyclical nature of life, where endings lead to new beginnings and transformation emerges from the depths of challenges.

    The mention of the shepherd and lamb residing behind the golden sun in the language of nature's dreams conveys a sense of harmony, guidance, and the timeless bond between protector and protected, encapsulating the beauty and symbiosis found in the natural world.
