Tapping into Stillness

A friend took my words and showed me the prose I created...

I want to tap into Stillness and yet

    Hunger for Thinking,

            Reading,

                Writing

                    at the same time.

I want to know,

    To understand,

        To have answers!!

Why? 


To have some steady ground

    On which to stand

        For a while in Peace. 

I feel little control and

    I know there is none anyway...


So much unknown,

    and if I let go...

I feel like I'll be swept up

    Into things I may not be able to handle

        In work,

            in love,

                in life.

Days fly by...

Thought I'd go to bed early. 

But now it's quiet and I love it. 

And I want to stay awake and listen and feel.
