Calm
By: James Aitchison
Accept, Man, the pattern of all life,
for with acceptance comes calm.
See with your eternal self
that this life is a path,
and each stone an event,
a moment, a crisis.
See with detachment
the whole path
and not the stones.
Calm is when the quiet
Voice speaks, when the soul
commands the physical,
when inner conflict ceases.
