You Are So Quiet
You are so quiet,
and then
one day
it happens.
a sound,
the way the earth creeps,
a noticing.
how a pebble turning changes the beginning of what you will one day tell your grandchildren is
Your
Life.
a sound.
the heart’s murmur.
a felt sense renders you perfectly
helpless
and plentiful.
You larger than life
You as quiet and as tiny as
ever.
that pebble,
Your voice. the wind.
the wind calling you home,
the wind whistling you into arrival,
making it so you are never lost.
You are never lost.
You are so quiet.
You are so quiet.
And then,
it happens.
Your Life.
The generous, open
sea
grateful to your steady soul.
