Foundation














Let me pause long enough
to find gravity,
internal cohesion,
the natural pull
to sink me
all the way down
to the silence

Though there be frenetic raging
on the surface,
though turbulent currents
attend my descent,
it will get quieter
as I go deeper

And I will find the settled peace
that undergirds everything,
I will sit still
and feel its radiance
rising in rays 
until it lights and calms the whole.
