Extended
waking in the night with nowhere to go
peaceful respite in the stillness
hearing the no sound that makes the ears ring
emptied of worry and illness
aware of the breath, even and soft
the only movement thru time
the temptation to count released in the dark
allowing the rhythm to rhyme
and then the visions, the grasses that blow
on the plains of renewal within us
the matrix of life extended once more
out of the realm of what was
