The Circle

my short story is still incomplete but enjoy this one inspired by my life till I can sort myself out. WS

Four women, one man and their dreams,

sat around the wine bottle of contemplation,

best friends, sharing thoughts and intimations,

of what the future might hold for these five-

One year of love, laughter and joy

One year together, with spirits ahoy

One year was over-one year was done.

Four women, one man and their ambitions

sat around the hookah pipe of meditation

sharing memories and missed stories,

all five still a group and very much a team

Three years apart, but still in minds

Three relationships, two calls to serve

five dreams not quite as planned

But five friendships still well in hand

Four women and one man full of love for each other,

All from the time they lived together
