Stillness

The stillness is inside.
Spark it off, but it will not stay –
You will need to tend it.

Do it right and it will grow:
Starting with the slightest flicker
Then a shudder of warmth
Then waves and waves of lassitude
Until
You let go
And allow it to surround you.

Walk in its warmth:
Easy strides,
Centered, swinging, free…
