SUBTLETIES

Subtleties

Subtleties,

an invitation from the infinite,

that no poison can take root in,

dresses me in intimacy

and speaks the language

of a silence

that makes the mountain dance

and the waves giggle

Subtleties,

a kindfulness of intrinsic possibilities

signaling the gentleness

in all living things

to move with ease

into an unknown

known only

to the divine

Subtleties,

where the body,

made to risk itself,

welcomes the mind home

to that space between the thoughts,

creating the bridges

through forever

Subtleties,

the ground of existence

where I am buried

in peace

dead or alive

all ways always
