if time is measured
by linear equations
But I know now that time and space
are curved
no edge, no horizon
only co-creative curve
Einstein may have proved it
for the skeptics
But you brought to me
this wisdom
on the wings of faith
You a re the space
in my heart
that grows round with time
You built your nest
in my heart years ago
and every year you
bring new bits
and your house grows
and my heart grows
and your nest and my heart become One
Some days
When fear and affliction
take my breath away
and my body locks down
I forget your sweet presence
your house in the round
I have learned to circle dance
to breathe
to pray
us back into
our swirling, galactic
spiraling
Whole
and then I feel you again
I feel your sweet
love of place
you are home in my heart
You are the space in my heart
that grows round with time.
