A Circle

There is a line
that bends itself
around to meet
back where it started

do you go forward
and back around
have you made progress
if your end is found

beneath the point
where you began
like a smudged mark
beneath your hand

around until
back at the place
you're standing still
the point to begin

the rain blurs into sun
what's an end
or sun fades behind clouds
again, and again

look how far you've come
the past behind you
and going on before
face forward.
