Eclipse

by A.M. Demarco

I need a confessor
an enlightened one
one undeterred by day to day trials
trivial details
hustling
one appointment to the next

For I have been fighting against all
which disturbs my stillness

Rather than
opening myself
to pearls
of inexhaustible serenity

I strike for
against my godliness

Show me
how to set roots
show me
my neglected doorway to fluidity
show me mercy
come
to one who’s forgotten his way home

Author's Note: It looses quite a bit without my original margins, but you get the flavor.
