The Unbroken Circle

The unbroken circle
of the sky wheels above them

The unbroken circle
of the earth turns beneath them

Each one watched
and traversed my two sets of feet

One set encased in
A Lords boot

Well made, expensive
and probably comfortable

The other set
A peasant girls bare feet

Calloused, dirty
and probably used to traveling many leagues

A study of opposites
A classic example of yin and yang

Little to either one
of them suspect

That one is perfect
for the other

The Lord,
Brightly cold in his perfection

The girl,
warmly wise in her short years

Externally, the Lord never changes or ages
Internally, his heart warms and accepts the girl

Externally, the girl, now a woman, changes drastically
Internally, she never loses her warmth or love

And in the
unbroken circle of life

They live, and love
And the girl dies, as all humans do

In an unbroken circle
The sun and moon mark the years

Counting down
To when

The Lord
will find his eternal love

Under the unbroken circle
of the sky

On the unbroken circle
of the earth

Where they will live, and love
And she will never die again

As this time,
the Lord ties himself

And his girl
together, forever

In an unbroken circle of Love
