Calma
Rest
like a child
or a cat sprawled
wide asleep
That deep relaxation
in which your mind sighs
in relief, your body
sinks into renewal
Rest among the clucking
chickens and birdsong
with the dark night stars
alight
Here, safety
breathes every breath,
time moves snail slow,
nothing is everything
Calma, they say, calma,
when presence stretches time
into always enough
and accomplishes everything
