From One Beating Heart
I sit with troubled heart,
acknowledge the pain and suffering
that rises and trembles in these
days of darkness, as opinions differ
and I reach for clarity to navigate
in a fog of dimming light,
with vision obscured,
uncertainty bound with fear hovers,
and margins of safety appear lost.
A moment of quiet pause
becomes a still point in the agitation,
as I do not find joy nor happiness
but remember to pour forth kindness,
with affirmation, with respect,
finding my way back to breath
in each moment, on into the world,
to step my way forward, to shine a light,
from this one beating heart.
