Falling into silence; a poem
by Steven Lee Mankle
I am falling into silence
deep within the stream
a tiny will
striving to find
a Universal current
without perishing
even in
the dark center
of my pain
Somewhere
out of view
is joy and wonder
tumbling in
a current larger
than our own design
yet even failing
faith is possible
