When I turned around to look at it,
I saw that I could not have seen
what I did not believe —
much as I wanted to believe it,
I really didn’t,
or I would not have missed it

It brings to question
what I believe now,
and if I now believe,
what that enables me to see

I see this day,
I see the peace in it —
what I may see tomorrow
is not for me to say

It will unfold
along the lines of my attention —
as I hold my source and center clear,
I’ll know.
