Be Fascinated

Behind the words, the shadows,
the outlines of all before you,
lies a steady quiet.
This is not the quiet of no sound,
but the quiet of everything that is and isn't.
It steals over attention at times,
and a heartfelt loveliness ensues.
That does not mean that a wallop of an energetic event
isn't waiting to ambush you.
Ride it the way you wait out a thunderstorm.
Don't wish it was over.
Be fascinated.
