I would like to nominate Sergio's poem 'Then the Stillness' which can be found in Seren's here.

It is a series of beautifully crafted tankas filled with exquisite imagery.


Then the Stillness by Sergio Ortiz


our bodies,
seagulls surrendering
to the wind
time brings us into bloom,
is it for miracles we live?


why do you hesitate
what do you see in my face
if not the pulse
of the earth, a bed
of golden saffron


a swarm of bees
awakens the stars
in this long night
homesickness
takes me by the throat


my mouth
closes behind a sigh. . .
I walk
through Shangri-la
in spring showers


moonflowers
surprise me,
shining in the night
to soften
their mournful cry


soft I go
to gather sun and wind,
my speech
the speed of darkness—
I am the tree that trembles


watching
you on the bed
I mine each moment
for the ore that holds
an antidote for endings


so fearfully pale,
a white rose bends to the breath
of the gale
and stands aimless
in the ruins of her honor.

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.


"There is no life higher than the grasstops
Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction."

Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.
