Analysis of Joni's Circle Game
The older I get
the more I know,
everything starts as a prayer
The older I get
the more I’m indebted
to a voice that I can share
The older I get
the surer I am
that life begins and ends
The older I get
the richer the words
—that spoken live again
(The Book Of Prayers: September, 2020)
