WE SIT HERE, CALM

 

We sit here, calm

As beautiful as could be

Meditative in our absorption

Of view, climate and company

         Able to be alone

         Or with you

         In this equilibrium

         Between the world of the senses

         And the observant soul of the self

Which watches

And does not change

Which sees and hears

The machinations of body and mind

The duo of deception

Which made us believers in the movie

Rather than the producer of the film

         Do not suspend disbelief

         In the temporary nature

         Of you and all you touch that is warm

         That has blood

         Of any sort

         Will be gone

         In the blink of a thousand glances

         Which will take their toll

         But leave an enhanced soul

                  Enriched by the leaps

                  Seasoned by the depths

                  Enlightened by the love

                  The hungry self gets

                  But only when it learns

                  To give it first

                  And without relent
