After the storm


After so stormy a night, 
It’s almost shocking to see sunlight and shadow
 Dappling a relatively pristine lawn:
 No fallen branches, no odd detritus 
 Blown over from someone else’s yard. 
How can so much sound and fury 
Leave our world untouched? 
And how can we cultivate 
 That core sense of serenity 
In our own hearts and lives?
