Rings of Children
Loneliness and Fair-weather Friends
ARMS LOCKED IN FRIENDSHIP
RINGS OF CHILDREN
DANCE ROUND IN CIRCLES
ONE LOSES HIS BALANCE AND FALLS
THE RING CLOSES IN TO MEND THE BREAK
THE ONE WHO FELL REGAINS HIS STATURE
BUT IT’S SILENCE TO THEIR EARS
SOMEONE HAS TAKEN HIS PLACE
CLOSE KNIT RINGS OF CHILDREN
DANCE ROUND IN CIRCLES
ARMS WEAVED TOGETHER IN HARMONY
THE RING LOOKS IN
BUT NEVER OUT
THE RING IS UNFORGIVING
THE ONE WHO FELL REGAINS HIS STATURE
HE GOES FROM RING TO RING
BUT NEVER BREAKS THROUGH
ARMS LOCKED IN FRIENDSHIP
RINGS OF CHILDREN
DANCE ROUND IN CIRCLES
EXCEPT ONE
