Pœtry is a season of the soul,
elusive as the autumn mist; whose role
is in contrast to the summer heat
when all is out of doors and plain to see –
and so for me tonight as words return
unexpectedly. From which I learn
my soul’s once more in reflective mood
after nine months’ stürm und drang, with time for soul food
and relaxation after work well done.
Time now for pause and thought and new beginnings,
a time to listen more than speak; once more
to go within, and start anew to explore
being not doing, heedless of gaining and winning …
re-formed from many atoms into one.
