Michael Edward DuBour (1942 ~2014)
Full Circle
The circle is a universal symbol
With extensive meaning.
It represents the notions of totality
Of the life of the human being.
Wholeness, original perfection
The Self, the infinite.
Timelessness, all cyclic movement
Death is to life as imminent.
God is a circle whose
Centre is everywhere.
And whose circumference
Is nowhere.
As the sun it is
A masculine power
As the soul it is
Encircling waters.
It implies the symbol
Of movement
As to follow the
Heavenly blueprint
Symbolizing the passage
Of time
The perpetual movement
Of the Universe great rhyme.
It has magical values
As a protective agent.
To be one with God
Is Michael’s replacement.
The end of the process
Of individuation
Towards a wholeness
And self-realization.
With the number ten
It symbolizes heaven and eternity
Where the perfection of
The soul will be achieved.
Circle of necessity
Birth, growth, decline and death
In heaven his rebirth
From his earthly last breath.
The tears that are shed
Is for eternal peace
In our hearts and our minds
His life here we’ll keep.
Ron, this is a real great and well thought out poem.
