. . . . . . . did you know that i sit next to you now in the tiniest house of time?

its paradox

ever emerging
all sides
of you

choose the
one in your now
who is
in between
your dark night
your early dawn

rising
because it knows
what to do
…next

is it the
mystery
u n f o l d i n g
its view
its paradox
that chooses
without limits
to protect you?

  1. Oh Robin, Robin…
    Funny enough
    it’s three in the morning
    I met two spirits this dawn
    Inspiration
    for my new painting
    and your peaceful word…
    Namaste my friend.

  5. I had such a feeling of assurance reading this poem – and then the last stanza, the question, which, for me was the paradox. The looking inward, only to find something deeper than myself. Your writing….. no words explain, it is simply space.
