turnings

 

it seems that life
is a series of turnings
ever so subtle
and often unnoticed
until we find ourselves
on the far reaches
of the life
we most deeply long for
wondering how we ever
ended up this far away

we only let go of intention
for a short time
or so it seemed
but now we find ourselves
living on the circumference
rather than in the center

and how do we now begin
to find our way back
from the outer edges
to the heart of life

maybe by the same way
we came to this distant land
by turning
not once
not twice
but always again
ever back
to the One
from which we came
consistently turning
ever back to you
