    The Center of all Things

    Like young creepers -- snuggling close,
    Like a strong gust of wind -- shaking trees
    Like a faint call in the heart of things

    Doubt creeping close
    Like waters running to cover a surface
    The stable core unshaken
    Like a nest in a strong tree
    Where three golden eggs shine
    waiting for their birth

    The naked branches of winter
    reaching the frosty air
    the whisper of winds between skies
    the call for the mother of all things
    ignoring the fathers hand
    where to look, before taken back
    I want to reach

    Voices outside like inside
    Gentle feathers so close,
    And yet -- Calling but hiding
    Going around yet staying still – the One

    Who is answering my call -- If not himself
    The bout of life on the green waves hovering
    Love is better than hate,
    Yet many people choose the other
    Nurturing is better than taking away
    Yet many do not nurture
    They have not come home yet

    In the center, the Hum of all
    Wasps, cars, streets, mountains
    Are shadows on the ground of the eternal
    Let me sit on the wheel nod
    From where I can see the road that is not
    The horse that does not pull the car of the friend
    Only me -- No other than myself

    How much higher can I fly?
    The clouds will mock
    Then I will ask them for a ride
