When it is time to stop
When it is time to stop
doing
and begin being
When it is mountain time
and you are at the base
and you are at the peak
all at once
When you climb with no exertion
When you are still
When a hawk is in your eye
you see the hawk
and see
from the hawk’s eye how small you seem
from where the hawk is
from where you are
Time to be washed out
Time to blend neutral into
where you are
Perfected camouflage
Transparent instead of
disguised
As you were
before
you were the fragile jumbled man
you are now
It is time for that again
When it is time to begin
When it is time to stop
All the gold of the Old and New Worlds
All the Conquest dreams
All the fever of wars fought for greed
explained then forgotten in this moment
of settling in
ceasing to resist
no longer treating existence
as adversary
as resource
but Source
When it is time to begin to stop
to begin being and stop doing
say it:
Time —
Stop
Dark Matter
