A Place From Which

Before I become

     complacently

          trivial

Idly stitching

     together

          memories

Basking in

     cleverly designed

          myths

Urge me awake

     from dreams to

          imperatives

Spurred by

     moral

          upsettings

Trembling on

     the edge

          of prayer

Help to get

     through the

          noise

A place to push

     off from in

          search for truth

And unite the two

     so oft divided

          justice and love

To find active

     peace in the

          eye of the storm
