Let the waters still

Let this day be a day of rest; 

An opportunity to sit 

Beside your stream of consciousness 

And let the waters still; 

To find again that quiet place within 

From which compassion, generosity, 

 And hope originate, 

 And let them flow with your outbreath, 

That the tempers and the troubles of the world 

 Might soften,and feel a gentle healing 

In the breeze.
