Poem

What did I gain, to find my soul
within a perfect dying world?--
With God (my only hands)
immobilized by wisdom

everything
and nothing
remains undone. Violence rules
peacefully over
poisoned earth and yet

I know
where Life is from

and trust the Power that dreams me
will not harm, nor be harmed
no matter what happens
no matter what happens.

Thank you Forrest.  I had to read this amazing poem three times to first understand it, then comforted by it, and then inspired by it to be in a state of Trust.
