Inspired by Poefusion: The Pantoum
The Pantoum is a repeating form written in quatrains (four line stanzas). The 2nd and 4th lines of each stanza become the 1st and 3rd of the next one. In the last stanza the 2nd and 4th lines repeat the first stanzas 1st and 3rd lines to bring the pantoum full circle.
This is also inspired by Cafe Writing April Prompt Five: Coming Full Circle.
Circularity
we always end as we begin
lost in a circle that never ends
travelling a path wrought with strife
stopping at times to measure our lives
lost in a circle that never ends
meandering minds to try again
stopping at times to measure our lives
but always wanting to discover why
meandering minds to try again
broken hearts will always mend
but always wanting to discover why
that from the beginning we start to die
coming full circle is the path we wend
we always end as we begin
experiencing all that is our life
travelling a path wrought with strife

Love how this evolves and revolves.
It has a lovely feel to it!

Life certainly has a way with coming back and biting us. It lets us know we are on borrowed time and that we should make the best of everything while we still can. There's no way to break that circle we just have to except life as it comes. That's not always so easy to do. This is a wonderful poem. Have a nice day.
i was under the misconception that we as humans did out most philosophical thinking in our youth... maybe i am just a late bloomer... this was so well written,, and covered so many of the questions to which to date... i have no answers.....
