FULL CIRCLE
I met the world
with open heart,
and wide-eyed
wonder at its
beauty ...
But immediately
growing pains,
money, duty...
dimmed the
inner light.
Now, after
more than half
a century, my life
approaching night,
again I see as
an innocent.
In maturity,
wonder anew…
am I gradually
circling to
enlightenment?
