The Mandela......
breathless, the circle
invisible
yet-seen
solid
moves-unchanged....
and
transforms
a flame--of the heavens
one
perfect
glowing
continuous
shinning lamp
ebbs and flows
making way....
in the sea of life
created, before-time
the Mandela ....
complete
in grace and form
beginning and end
ever
ever
inhales....
master of all-
life and death
grasping
it
engulfs matter
and
spins through--eternity
a shimmering-orb
ablaze
deep in it's void
thick is the circle
thick
patterns...pulsate in time--blood
strings
attach and detach
while
the Mandala....
stops
but to start anew.
eternal...master crafter
passes
and
we, are rekindled
burning bright--but a moment
over and over
again and again
renewal in motion
afresh...
down
down
the lamplight's path--we glide
only to end...begin
forever
as
the circle, the great Mandela...
progresses
swiftly
drifts--cracking
as it rides the void
then
exhales.....

Oh, this was wonderful! It's so good to read your poetry again!
You capture the essence of everything coming round again full circle so beautifully...
Bravo!
I love the idea that it engulfs all and stops only to start anew. One of the most fascinating symbols in human culture! Wonderful poem!
Your site is wonderful, and your poetry is lovely, BD.
And I have a thing about mandelas. This one is striking.
