Circles


"It has been a long time, and I am very, very certain that I have grown rusty. I hope that I can start writing again decisively. To anyone who happens to pass by this way, I hope you stay and read awhile then leave, feeling that you never wasted anything at all for spending a few of the precious minutes of your life right here... with me."



We are equidistant, you and I--
moving towards each other,
neither closing the gap nor left behind,
moving like standing still.
Your back is my beacon,
your side, my goal..
chasing your shadow--
like the way you chase mine.
Desperately, we grasp for the other-
like a drowning man gasps for air..
over and over again-
we are back to where we started.
Trapped the way we are
on this tragic mobius strip-
I am chasing your shadow,
like you are chasing mine...

...and we are back to where we started.
