   oops I didn’t finish that: all alone keeping the dark company, hidden geometry — silence moving prayer into will — as morning greets a world eternal, I am

   Shapeless, as we embrace the darkness, taking shape as the Light emerges….

    I pray my will be moved with, not against, that shapeless intent.

    As always, great work. Still pondering the “shapeless intent of the eternal” moving my will.

    Don- Wandering Taoist that I am, your phrase “the shapeless intent of the internal” echoes the Taoist concept of Tzu-jan–the ten thousand things unfolding spontaneously from the generative source (Tao, Great Mystery, Dark Enigma) each according to its own nature. So we go meet the wild and feel the infinite unfolding in the world and in us.

    Thanks for the lovely poem.
