Within Our Inner Hearts
We know the secret lies
A Garland Cinquain (altered)*
Within
Our inner hearts
We know the secret lies
Hidden, set quietly apart,
Listen
Listen
To its music,
We sit so very still,
That we may give it audience,
Unless
Unless
The endless noise
Keep our ears from hearing,
Our thoughts so recklessly re-voice
The wind
The wind
Spins incessant,
Vortex ever widens,
Til it ceases to comprehend,
Listen
Listen,
Set in shadows
It lingers still, hemmed in,
This our most precious gift, hallowed
Within.
