Janette Hoppe #16 Circles (3)

toru.
life is made up of circles
and cycles
you're born, you live, you die.

resting my hands on my belly
fire in the pit of my womb
so full of promise,
so full of hope,
such is the circle of life...

aroha mai aroha atu
love received demands love returned
    aroha mai aroha atu

again and again
fire in the pit of my womb
my swollen belly
housing flame after flame

tahi is one, rua is two,
toru is number three
wha is four, rima is five......a-e-i-o-u...
