Everything the Power of the World Does is Done in a Circle by Black Elk

Everything the Power of the World does
is done in a circle. The sky is round,
and I have heard that the earth is round
like a ball, and so are all the stars.
The wind, in its greatest power, whirls.
                .
Birds make their nests in circles,
for theirs is the same religion as ours.
