Still

dedicated to Rumi

Still mind.
Still mind.
Lucid.
Every moment,
Every present,
I am,
Manifested,
Found.

Who was I
Before conception?

I was the greater
World spirit.
Wind, mind, motion.

I am all:
The green leaves waving in wind;
The wind that carries--sounds:
Car alarms, crickets, construction,
Dogs barking, people talking, bird chirping,
motorcycle on the freeway, plane in space--
the moon above; the sun to my west;
the house I am in; the houses around me;
the nails in the wood that hold my foundation;
the paint that cracks around it;
the cigarette butts in the ashtray; and
the water in the bucket to collect its burn,
the ashes, the wars, destruction, bones, blood, body,
the steel frames of globalization, gentrification....

Balance, peace, appease, a piece of harmony
I love the world we live.

Still mind.
Still mind.
Lucid.
Every moment,
Every present,
I am,
Manifested,
Found.

Who was I
Before conception?

I was the greater
World spirit.
