Psalms and Meditations
Agitation. Just arrived. Stop. We’re staying here?What’s ongoing? Where’s next? Something’s passing. Peace.Call it calm. Keep an eye. Make a quiet moment.Water moves its way in spite. Let the onrush leave. Stop and feel the frayed wind. You, the briar brushed.Catching nothing. Keeping place. Road is resting now.Still-point. Stasis. Steal the time, To drop behind, and drink.Hold the panic, heart beats, feet slow faster.
There’s no pursuit. Nor imperative. Legs are allowed to fold.Someone’s here to summon pause, collect the path you’ve come.
And while the world, whirling, dizzy, snatches breath, sneezes,here’s a soft tump, houses travellers, offers an end to the journey.
