Poise---

Repose--
The self-knowledge
Revealed in self-reflection
Advocates for me!
And as I am
Composed,
The moon leaps--
A solitary thought...
Is still.
The sound of falling leaves,
Waning autumn wind--
What voices are these?
Oh, the music of running streams!
Perhaps these are times of demons,
But I'm not disturbed --
Even so, some take my smiles
And give none back--
See how free my soul really is!
I am able to do
What needs to be done, and
Once done,
Carries me along--
You and I know what that is--
Open thought to the breeze
Of fresh autumn air!
Be with the stars,
Inspired--and so
Heaven... evening clear!
