2.Circle Dream


I dreamed of a circle, i dreamed of a circle round.
And in that circle i had made were all the worlds unformed and
unborn yet.
A volume, a sphere that was the earth, that was the moon, that
did revolve around my room.

I dreamed of a circle, i dreamed of a circle round.
And in that circle was a maze, a terrible spiral to be lost in.
Blind in my fear, i was escaping just by feel.
But at every turn my way was sealed.

I dreamed of a circle, i dreamed of a circle round.
And in that circle was a face.
Her eyes looked upon me with fondness.
Her warmth coming near, calling me 'sweetness,' calling me
'dear.'
But i whispered, 'no, i can't rest here.'

I dreamed of a circle, i dreamed of a circle round.
