Eternal Geometry

The form of a circle has no beginning, no end
It cannot be used to measure distance or time
Eternity has never had a known starting point
It has no terminus, only a magnificent design
A straight line is pure, clean, uninterrupted
Being of a purpose of measure, connection
Aiming to count or reach from point to point
But nature has no straight lines in perfection
Maybe we are fools to try force any definition
As we question the reason of the creator's hand
And we barely understand why we even exist
Let alone logic's tools under our command
That conform to laws of nature, not of any man

“Mathematics would certainly have not come into existence if
one had known from the beginning that there was in nature no
exactly straight line, no actual circle, no absolute magnitude.”
