In Patience Possess Ye Your Souls

In Patience Possess Ye Your Souls / Joshua Alan Sturgill

Beneath these violent waves
wide rivers
in slow procession

sail. And deeper still,
caverns of the sea conceal
the virgin darkness

prayerful and
undisturbed.

Beneath appearance of power
is bliss within
repose. Patiently,

we climb
down from thought
into consciousness

from mortality
into life
