Circles in the sand

Drawing circles in the sand,
It's weaving the past into the future,
These words I write,
Only he will understand,
Round and round the lines go,
A place where only we will know,
In these he sees completion,
And for me,
I see the end of a weary mission,
Round and round the lines go,
My dress whirling about me,
Like falling snow,
Trapped within this hourglass,
I peer at you through misted eyes,
Will you answer these unvoiced cries?
Round and round the lines go,
Hurry hurry hurry, love,
When the sand runs out,
I'll be far away,
From everyone and everything I know,
Drawing circles in the sand,
He gazes at me,
Palm to palm against the warming glass,
He looks into my eyes,
And at last he comprehends.
