When I read it over, I realize it is in fact a string of images that could easily become a picture. I might as well have made it a picture in the first place, I decide. Then I wonder why a poem was easier to create than a picture. Having reached this point in my poem, the rest seems likely to follow without too much effort, but now I feel the urge to write sentiments that are impossible to transpose into a picture. After much hesitation over the possible choices, I finally produce the following:Sitting silent in this quiet world

I sense a faint light deep within me.

The human world is thronged with busyness

Yet how could one forget such peace?

By chance I gain a day’s serenity

and learn how hectic is the life of man.

Where might I place this deep expansive calm?

It belongs only to the realms of eternal sky.
