Softly
Blow out the light
Rise from your knees
With whispered thoughts
Accepting.

Until the mending comes undone
And simplicity
Cracks
To reveal kaleidoscope colour
With threads intertwined and entangled
And confusion
Creeps
On shadowy tendrils
From as yet unfathomed
Deep.

Then
Again bend
Calmly descend
And light the lamp
Once more to still the maelstrom.
