Choosing Stillness

Oh sweet flowing feathers

of awareness

gently swaying.

I choose gentle lessons.

I choose great joy.

As the boat

containing Creator and I

bumps to shore,

help me find the place

of gentle allowing.

Help me find

the Kairos point

where the shuttle

drives through the tapestry.

Help me find

the Kairos point

choosing between

I intent

I select

I affirm.

And

help me allow

in stillness,

in each moment

simply watching

what arises.

Help me walk the point

of witnessing

what is

through oneness

with the light.

This is my path to peace.
