Structure of Life

Considering structure,
the lock and the brace of it,
over and under,
the link and the lace of it,
eager connection, reciprocal, strong,
stretch and contraction,
heart of the song

  *

There is nothing mindless here –
within this temple, it all comes clear –
in taut tensility appears
a firm support, the space to care

*

So interlocked, this life extends
through inner and through outer
realms of space –
the loving structure that allows
the soft and still points,
steadfast protection that gives rise to grace.
