The Stillness You Seek


The stillness you seek inside
is all around you,
effervescent with stars,
hungering tears and
waves of otherness.
The strength you demand in
in a noble leader
is the heart-crushing softness
of your own breath.
The touch you yearn for
in a lover's nearness
undulates through your own spine,
fermented nectar
rising from the green earth
to kiss the boundless sky
through this body.
I keep telling you, dear friend,
you seek the one you are.
