For all the gifts

The world would offer,

None is more than passing,

None less transient

Than the clouds

Ever changing face and form.

–

Who and what

Finds immunity

From THIS law?

What in all that slips

And falls apart

And wears out

And degrades

Offers immutability’s

Stable ground?

–

None but formlessness

–

None but nothing’s something

–

None but silence’s empty space.

–

Only here in nowhere

–

Where there is none but one

–

Is peace unnamed,

–

Unmade and unhappening.
