return to center

i find myself craving

a return to center

a center with margins

with room to grow

protected womb-space

hushed and holy

a sacred place

where dreams can ripen

undisturbed

-stacy wills (1/18/2011)

come and find the quiet center...

come and find the quiet center

in the crowded life we lead

find the room for hope to enter

find the frame where we are freed

clear the chaos and the clutter

clear our eyes that we can see

all the things that really matter

be at peace and simply be

disintegration

Things fall apart;

the centre cannot hold...

-W. B. Yeats (1865-1939)
