Serenity

Say the word
again,
and it is yours.
The plain
is wider than the mind,
consuming every fall.
Surrender breaks like dawning,
like the flowers in the night
that make no claim upon the light.
Just now,
no world may intercede;
you are at rest, 
complete,
and peace proclaims its monarchy
upon a restless valiance.

And say no word at all.
