Believe

When I turned around to look at it,

I saw that I could not have seen

what I did not believe —

much as I wanted to believe it,

I really didn’t,

or I would not have missed it

It brings to question

what I believe now,

and if I now believe,

what that enables me to see

I see this day,

I see the peace in it —

what I may see tomorrow

is not for me to say

It will unfold

along the lines of my attention —

as I hold my source and center clear,

I’ll know.
