I read a call to

 

‘Be still and know that I am God’

and my questions become more than just the One

how for example can I know and still release

my ever unravelling thinking fluff

my cling to this life long enough

to untether and completely trust

like Hildegard de Bingen’s feather

like some non-specific spec of dust

that this heavy clod of earths unease

will float upon the breath of God

by knowing stillness if you please

 

Why for instance would I welcome in the dark again

deeply ingest todays Ton-Glen of tension

blood-shed death and grief

if still breathing out I barely taste

Your luminous love above this stench

of mindless city living waste

 

But really

 

what if it could really be this easy

if i could seamlessly become We

if You could find Yourself in me

and what if all that’s needed for this embrace

is to clear some clutter

to lose my head

and create a heart shaped whole instead

to find You already found

in that place You dwell

within my ground?
