Stillness

The cycle of life

flows like water, from spring to

unstoppable sea.

Snowfall thaws atop

the tree-line; transforms into

brook and river stream

God’s deluge roars down,

strengthening the swift torrent

grown full, wide, and deep.

Unstoppable force

winds and weaves down the mountain

without rest or sleep.

Droplets, once formed, bind

interconnected with all.

And one day: stillness

A great, grand Stillness

swept across the vast oceans;

alone, yet all one.

Grand depths filled throughout

tides ebb and flow along shores,

rising and waning.

Each soul like water:

A relentless rise and fall

of cycles, Stillness
