' Those Tiny Tender Waves '...

I wouldn’t underestimate the power
of a tiny, tender impulse
from the heart.

An impulse that’s that small
can rock and soothe us all,
or tear our safe, complacent lives apart.

But I’ve learned to trust
those tiny, tender waves,
despite my fear or habits of defense,

though they lead me, in some cases,
to unexpected places
that at the time,
frankly make no sense...


~ Kirtana from the song And So
