Can you keep peace within
when the noise without
builds and builds in fear
can you keep faith in the face
of a world fragmenting
spinning in emotion and tears?
Can you keep heart and mind open
when the roof of your life
creaks a threat of collapse
when the storm is roaring so violently
a dawn seems impossible perhaps?
Can you hear your own truth when all around
a story is screamed that’s not yours
can you feel to your roots
an anchoring trust that guides you in universal laws?
Can you find ground within you
to seed a future you wish to nurture and grow
and water it with breath so present
that light lives as above here below
