Benevolence, you are no stuttering fool.
You are the atmosphere of my content
in all things, like or not, you firmly rule
my pre-congesting state of life well spent.
How peacefully you bask while reflexes
of hate like wooden ducks on springs pop up,
rude opinions quacking at what vexes
overturn, duty-bound the loving cup—
—to spill. I like to think I multi-task
with nyet to this and yes to that, and yet
I sense you, bigger nesting doll: Relax!
What I believe, and more, I’m sure to get.
To see the best in all must, by degrees,
wed eloquence to certainty with ease.

to give, to receive, to flow with the river of life at ease, to ponder and wonder, to share the unexpected heart, to cry not so hard…peace of mind.

Thank you, Gavriel. One forgets, over time, how good it feels to be read by you. 🙂
