Only In Stillness Poem by Raynette Eitel

Only In Stillness



Only between heartbeats
and wave beats,

only as a quiet fog
settles like gray grief,

only between wails
of a foghorn

as silent ships
turn back like ghosts,

only in stillness
can knowledge come

like a deep-drawn breath
of spirit and truth,

using eyes blinded
with the sting

of salt spray
turned inward

to see one's self.
