Poems

In The Stillness

alone

inside my soul

in the stillness

i dream that i know

how to deal with the world

with life

& what it means to be alive

i imagine

what it’s like to be

in tune

to hear each action

resonate

creating clear long tones

that ring & rumble

then return reverbed

rich & warm

& right

in

time

i press that feeling against my memory

& push as hard as i can

but when i let up

it’s gone

it’s always gone
