Joy and stillness both as one
Together fill my living soul.
I wish to leap and then to run,
Yet carefully to mull:
To ponder what this life is for –
Watching planets turn in time.
Each day learning further more;
Each tall precipice to climb
So, joy and stillness fill my heart
And guide me through my search.
Until at last I fill my part
And pass on though the lurch.
11.2.19
