murmur in my heart
it counts every moment
lush and pulsing life
mind ever changes
what now is good next is bad
but it’s all the same
here, in the quiet
there is full tranquility
never seems to last
except that it does
i find it when i’m looking
when i remember
like many pebbles
unnoticed except in shoe
such a funny thing
surrounded by joy
whether to dance or to cry
as the mind dictates
i choose more often
clumsy but willful dancing
even as thought stills
move with no movement
a holding without holding
full embrace of life
clever, the footsteps
leading me a merry chase
smiling, i follow
a far horizon
waits somewhere ahead of me
for it i care not
all the deep vallies
shadowed now and behind me
for it i care not
here, in this moment
sweet and rich, overflowing
river of delight
splashing feckless, free
a watery minuet
pebbly worship
