Rest in your heartbeat

where you have no enemies,

where no one is to blame,

where the journey has not begun

and even prayers for peace

do not need speaking.

Disperse into what you are

before you breathe,

sage smoke in desert air.

Burn away and remember,

your body is made of stars

that vanished eons ago.

Friend, rest here

in your own rhythm

where motion is stillness.

This is the secret.

A nest inside an egg.

A mother's womb that carries

her own savior.

Be the seed of what you are seeking.

Flower on a Winter night.
