between the circles
   

faces in the waters of my mind
people who have left my far behind
friends who showed they were not true
adrift at sea now, alone on the big blue
wondering just what I should do


and the rain falls down on the waters
casting circles of over laps
and I watch my life spread out the same way
and I feel like I'm lost in the gaps


between the circles
between the social graces
the ripples all collide
to smother all the faces


I just don't fit into the circles
my movement does not follow the waves
and conformity has never fit me
I don't know who it saves


I tried every sort of circle
played every game I could find
accepted sometimes, rejected sometimes
still here alone in my mind
in my own circle of rhymes


between the circles
between the great escapes
the ripples all dissolve
into the sea's landscapes
(into the vast sea-scapes)


are we getting somewhere
what do you say?
between the circles
is where I play
between the circles
is where I stay
between the circles
again today
between the circles

I go my way
