Peace in a Time of Revolution - Ruah Bulls

[Larry Robinson]

Peace in a Time of Revolution


To be still 
in the curl of chaos
to welcome dark waters
and lightning strike 

to steady in webbed roots
sinking down deep
as merciful wind
whips leaves, blasts dead branches

to choose this rough real-
a sacred gesture of the heart
emptied of all but 
yes

The peace of God 
is not my favored sleep
but rather trusting
this bloody death-
is bloody birth
