Collect: Joining Forces

The narrative continues,
As myriad minutes
Stagger through
And disappear,

Fear and confusion
Appear
And vanish
Into the void;

Frustration seethes upward,
Anger flames;
Solar flares erupt
And black holes consume.

Blinding flashes of vitriol
And dark thoughts;
Stopping up the gaps
With hurt feelings tied up in knots.

But what’s in the space?
Peace and ease;
How strange,
To find such composure!

Serenity never abandoned me,
Even though
I feel engulfed in
A conflagration cycle;

When I look
From the outside
I am surprised to find that
All is as well as ever!

Buffeted by fierce solar winds
And gravitational shear,
Yet held in tranquility.
Stillness coexisting
With stellar intensity.
