INSIDE OUT

INSIDE OUT

#poetry #meditation #thinking #writing #thought

There is at night the coolness 

there is at night the dark 

for there is at night little else.

Under the cover of the dark

at the edge of what we feel before we see, 

surrounded by the cool, silky air.

Touched by the very dark we experience- but cannot see

held by that very still experience that has inside us

what we are inside it.

The need for the open darkness

 to make cool the heated emotions.

The need for cool air to make dark the emptiness

 so that it cannot be seen.

And then we can just have a breath of calm

 that allows for tomorrow.

The tomorrow that is of each new moment.
