Depth of Peace
There is a depth
beyond the ripples
still and caressing
And even when the tides
or ungracious storms
collide rambunctiously
The peace
below the surface pervades
Continues to envelope any
who descend there…
A checkered box
covered with jewel-like beads
And full to within an inch
of emptiness, still and rich
Such is my day
such is my life
Such is the experience
when immersed
in love and gratitude
