This Stillness

at rest inside you

like a sleeping infant

isn’t just a happy gap

between the noisy voices

of choices and unknowns.

It is sunshine scattering

lessons about light

across meadows.

It is ground bearing

up everything.

It is breeze whispering 

through open windows.

It is all there is now,

a string of living, breathing

this-moments where you

can receive your inheritance

handed on by the Calmer

of Waves who silenced

schemes and regrets.

Everything else is just a fragile thought.

Even when the surface becomes

chaotic again, what’s planted

within you soul isn’t lost.

May you live with courage,

not because peace is unshakeable,

but because it’s rooted and green

in your soul.
