Single Point (Burning the Candle at both ends)

Single Point (Burning the Candle at both ends)

There is a silent place
like a single point between
a candle burning at both ends.

No matter the winds of change,
the chaos swirls
the clamor increases outside.

Go to that place—
You will hear the soft voice
speaking…

Like a delicate feather
un-tethered from a bird in flight,
it will envelop you—
comforting you

lifting any weight
that might be keeping
you down.

Stay in this shelter—
You’ll know when to rise.

Already the light is in your eyes.
