There is no hurry

there is no hurry-
listen
to the wheels turn
even when they are
still
as they move.

there is no hurry -
listen
to them converse
with a pliant earth
who holds, then
releases them
from their bondage
and self-imposed
oppression.

there is no hurry -
listen
to the silent drumbeat
of the cosmos,
tune into
the void
where song
and dance
meet and die
and are reborn
endlessly
as the whirling dervish.

stop.
listen.
there is no hurry -
to get somewhere,
to find yourself
anywhere,
but here.
