Calm

I take your hand
kiss your palm
in this simple action
revolving world  goes calm
there is nothing more
I need to do
in a disturbing world
stillness of me and you
quietly composed
as your comfort surrounds
all is said
in this tranquil sound


"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)  Shakespeare

Calm...for me, is difficult...
tides incoming from the sea.
Wave after wave of overwhelm
in theft of grains of calm of beach.

I wish I knew the elements
so well they'd hearken to my plea
and all the torrents I could quell
and let the waves sing me to sleep...

Smiles Helen...I caught your wave!
