Resting Above the Waves
There is a stone behind my eyes
it sits calmly in a troubled sea.
My peace is to rest there
on that stones round summit
naked of all emotion.
I am not cold of heart
just divorced from the waves.
When I wish to swim, then I swim,
often
while watching others drown
within themselves.
