We laid ourselves bare,
we allowed ourselves to be still,
we felt the sweetness of wind that’s sieved through the screen.
I desire for nothing but my needs
and my needs are still unclear.
Near in touch,
near in touch and spirit,
in the word and in the breath
in all the lives that give me pause,
that fill my sight.
I begin with what I know today
and I will leave with nothing left to miss.
Without the burden of a question,
freed from debt and expectation.
Peace is an idea I render useless,
disproportionate,
passed through me and inverted.
One day it will come easily to me,
perch itself within my soul,
and I will step aside to let it in -
a power unadorned and patient.
The God beyond the self.
The God in warmth and rhyme.
I want to feel that way all the time.
