Within a circle,
within a group.
Among great friends,
being one of the troops.

A feeling inside
coaxes a pleasent sigh,
as jokes are
rallied around.

Through the opening I find,
I learn not to hide,
for the companionship
I have found.

To feel at peace,
to be at ease,
with yourself and
all around you.

To open up,
to lighten up,
and begin
everything anew.

Within a circle,
within a group,
within myself,
I find the truth.
