Envoy

Today I finished reading a book of poetry by Gary Snyder. The last poem was called "Envoy." It inspired this poem.

We are surrounded by spirits

who are watching us, carrying

us, being our envoys to the

greater existence, the ocean

of everything. We are never

without these angels who

whisper in our ear and speak

to our hearts -- it will be okay,

all will be well, all will be well,

in all manner of things will be well.

And we will be carried, through

trust and love and hanging on 

to our own inner power, our own

inner spirit that dwells and calms

and whispers

all will be well.
