a slight suggestion
can set up magnifying waves -
my efforts to correct them
just makes it worse -
sets things rocking even more
My thought can drop like a rock
below the surface
where the waves don't reach,
I can take refuge
beneath the words and the reactions
in the silent depths
where everything is still
There is an underlying law,
there is a calming,
though on my own I couldn't steady
what has been riled up -
I can perceive it
as hope, as homing,
that stills the sea and sets all things to right.
