I know this happiness
is provisional:
is provisional:
the looming presences –
great suffering, great fear –

into peripheral vision:
into peripheral vision:
but ineluctable this shimmering
of wind in the blue leaves:
of wind in the blue leaves:
this flood of stillness
widening the lake of sky:
widening the lake of sky:
this need to dance,
this need to kneel:
this need to kneel:
this mystery:
