Time for Serenity, Anyone? - William Stafford

[Lawrence Robinson]

Time for Serenity, Anyone?

I like to live in the sound of water,
In the feel of mountain air.  A sharp
Reminder hits me: this world is still alive;
It stretches out there shivering toward it’s own
Creation, and I’m part of it.  Even my breathing
Enters into the elaborate give-and-take,
This bowing to sun and moon, day or night,
Winter, summer, storm, Still—this tranquil
Chaos that seems to be going somewhere.
This wilderness with a great peacefulness in it.
This motionless turmoil, this everything dance.

	- William Stafford
