Home fires

spark, ignition to a
tremendously big flame

the release of the sun
that smolders inside us all

the release, then radiation
of the heat and energy
that humans encircled in stone

the stone, the embodiment
that captured and hides
the burning heat and light

and with the stone
humans encircled around
the hearts of their homes

the first circles of the
eternal cycles synchronizing
sacred with the mundane

glowing orbs crowned
the desert gods in circles...
the writing on the wall

the eternal syllable sounded
in reaching ultimate reality
encircles the lips and mouth

and serpentine opposites,
the balancing forces, were
encased in circular fashion

wheels laid upon the face
of the mother to honor
the ancients and fae

and wheels of eight spokes
speak the path into
understanding mercy

for golden rings hovered
over saints and incarnations
of the crowning divine

but also the holy whole
was intersected
by drawing a line...

and another and another

for swastikas and crucifixes
and stars of different vines

strummed sweet and sour tones
in foreign hearts and minds

the circles and lines found
voice to give human technology
a language of itself

and fought in defining the
duration's measure from
the very starts to the very ends

...spins the world encircling
what was captured and released
to spark, ignite the tremendously big flame
