Stillness Amidst Maelstrom
As I sit . . . green leaves hang . . . motionless . . . ~our earth spins on it's axis over a thousand miles per hour~ As I watch . . . adagio grasses bow in repose . . . ~our earth orbits the sun over sixty-six thousand miles per hour~ As I rest . . . vinca vines trail unruffled . . . ~our solar system whirls around the milky-way over five-hundred thousand miles per hour~ As I wonder . . . flowers pose placid and serene ~our milky-way hurls headlong over a million miles per hour~ In my garden . . . stillness reigns resolute . . . amidst this unimaginable tempestuous maelstrom I am called to witness this defiance; this static anarchy against the universe's irresistible momentum I am surrounded by leafy verdure in stock-still solidarity; blossoms colored with un-budged boldness and tendriled vines in composed contempt I am called to witness this unperturbed mutiny against torrid irascible forces As I sit . . . musing on this peaceful anarchy I think on He . . . that humble anarchist waging peace against war love against hate grace against revenge His submissive cheek immovable against brutish forces I sit . . . peacefully content in my garden of Eden unmoved . . . by the celerity of this careening world geo.vuy 2015
