East - <br />I enter life's golden circle <br />born on the wings of the Eagle. <br />My birth is in the Spring, <br />when Raphael's blossoms fill the air <br />with the fragrance of stars. <br />The rising Sun behind me <br />opens wide the world; <br />and opens up my mind. <br />I am Aries. <br />My name is John. <br /> <br />South - <br />Here in this summer-place the world is Red. <br />The Mountain Lion walks warily beside me. <br />I am a youth with fire in my heart. <br />I feel in this moment the warmth of Uriel, <br />radiant in the noon-tide sun. <br />I am Cancer. <br />My name is Mark. <br /> <br />West - <br />I walk into darkness with courage. <br />A great shaggy Buffalo is grazing in the Autumn mist. <br />I sense the strength of my body <br />as the strength of the earth. <br />With the eyes of a grown man <br />I see how the past has brought me here. <br />I look inside without fear or pride; <br />and see Michael in the setting sun. <br />I am Libra. <br />My name is Luke. <br /> <br />North - <br />It amazes me that I have grown so old. <br />The midnight sky shines above me. <br />The night-sun turns my gray braid white. <br />I hear the sounds of the many creatures 'round me: <br />I know they live inside me. <br />The sound of Gabriel's voice, <br />like the sound of many waters, <br />will carry me into the future. <br />I am Capricorn. <br />My name is Matthew. <br /> <br />East Revisited - <br />I leave this world in the beauty of Spring. <br />Eagle carries me into the sunrise. <br />Raphael heals all my wounds. <br />This old ram is going home. <br />My name is John.<br /><br />Steven Silent Wolf<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/earth-round/
