Peace and Yearning

  -----I--  a/\/\--

slipping a\/\/ay

calm breathing. folding eyes

peaceful pouches of scentless herbs

ease

tangles come undone

the Nothing melts leaving me clean

unharmed, safe and loved

the Everything is here

There is this peace that is more than eye am

I want everything I have and lose every need

But she is pulling away

but there is peace

   Peace and Yearning

I want it so bad. Content beyond any need.

Peaceful, hopeful desire.

Broken pots holding treasures of forever.

I need it. So satisfied.

 

It’s like standing still

            wanting to run

It’s like being away in the middle of the night

                                                                                             waiting for what we have
