When the force is strong enough to move us

we move to make our feelings heard

in a way to satisfy our breathing

to make the moment significant

after reading about it

I just want to sit in zazen all day

but I won’t today

we have work to do

and this will be our time

to move through a million thoughts

throw the waste away

build new

build now

breathing in and out

in this darkening season 

encased in sleepless joy

wake up to banish fear.
